The UAE will soon have a permanent committee for dealing with the issues of human rights and its reviews would be produced before the Human Right Council of the United Nations.

Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs said that the country remained a strong advocate of human rights and the establishment of the committee would further help to complete the unaccomplished tasks.

Earlier, the cabinet meeting was held under the chairmanship of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai in the presence of other prominent leaders including Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs- Shaikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

The committee will comprise members from Ministries and government departments for preparing the final report on human rights which is likely to be produced in the UN Human rights council session in June.

Earlier, eminent UN special rapporteur Githu Muigai hailed the efforts being done by UAE for protecting the rights of expatriates that account for a significant portion of its population.
