Bahrain rejects European Parliament's resolution on UAE
Bahrain:
The Kingdom of Bahrain has expressed categorical rejection of a resolution
passed by the European Parliament criticising the UAE's human rights record.
The Bahrain News Agency quoted the Bahraini
Ministry of Foreign Affairs as stating that the European Parliament's resolution
is based on factually incorrect information.
The statement added that the resolution lacks
credibility and ignores the UAE’s significant achievements with regards to human
development, the protection of human rights, upholding the principles of justice
and equality, and providing decent life for all UAE nationals and residents in
compliance with its constitution and national laws.
The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that UAE boasts a track record of
achievements in ensuring justice, equality and protection of human rights as
well as enjoys advanced ranking on global indices, including the Human
Development Report issued by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
