United Arab Emirates

The ICRC Delegation in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) works to address and alleviate the suffering of victims of armed conflict by defining concrete solutions to humanitarian challenges and engaging in humanitarian policy and diplomacy discussions with government, military, and diplomatic officials covering the UAE and the wider region.  We work with the UAE authorities to promote International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and integrate it in national legislation.  We seek to build sustainable humanitarian partnerships for operational impact, and to promote cross-sector engagement and knowledge-sharing with local institutions, universities, the media, and other partners.  We work closely with the Emirates Red Crescent Authority (ERCA) and other humanitarian partners, organizations and foundations based in the UAE.
