HRW Report unbalanced: Emirates Human Rights Association

posted on 04/02/2010: 47 views

Board Chairman of the Emirates Human Rights Association, HE Abdul Ghafar Hussein, has slammed the report released by the international rights watchdog Human Rights Watch (HRW), on the UAE, describing it as "unbalanced non positive because it focused on the negative rather on the positive side". He added at the press conference held by the association last night that the report ignored the efforts of the UAE in regard to enacting laws protecting rights of labour, indicating that the report also snubbed the UAE national women empowerment in the local and federal institutions, notably, the Federal National Council. Hussein underscored that the workers in the UAE enjoy their rights compared to many countries. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
