Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, has issued a resolution to establish a dedicated body to investigate and prosecute cases involving labourers and domestic workers in Abu Dhabi. The new entity — named the Abu Dhabi Labour Prosecution — will fall under the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department and aims to ensure swift and efficient judicial procedures in this critical sector. According to the Abu Dhabi Media Office, the resolution reflects ongoing efforts to “develop and expand the scope of specialised prosecutions, given their effective role in ensuring swift and efficient judicial procedures and to realise accurate and full justice in vital sectors.” Officials emphasised that the initiative takes into account “the nature of each field to support the emirate’s judiciary system while protecting the rights of all parties, in line with the highest standards of transparency and justice.” The move is seen as a significant step toward strengthening workers’ rights in the UAE capital, particularly for domestic workers and labourers who may face unique challenges in accessing justice.
