World Factbook 2000 [F] by the CIA Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books Search through book: UNITED ARAB EMIRATES United Arab Emirates: Introduction Background: The Trucial States of the Persian Gulf coast granted the UK control of their defense and foreign affairs in 19th century treaties. In 1971, six of these states - Abu Zaby, 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah, Dubayy, and Umm al Qaywayn - merged to form the UAE. They were joined in 1972 by Ra's al Khaymah. The UAE's per capita GDP is not far below the GDPs of the leading West European nations. Its generosity with oil revenues and its moderate foreign policy stance have allowed it to play a vital role in the affairs of the region.

Home Country Analysis Briefs United Arab Emirates Country Analysis Brief PDF version PDB version February 2004 Background Oil Natural Gas Electricity ... Links United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is important to world energy markets because it contains 98 billion barrels, or nearly 10%, of the world's proven oil reserves. The UAE also holds the world's fifth-largest natural gas reserves and exports significant amounts of liquefied natural gas. Note: Information contained in this report is the best available as of February 2004 and can change. GENERAL BACKGROUND The overall performance of the UAE's economy is heavily dependent on oil exports, which account fornearly 30% of total gross domestic product (GDP). Growth in real GDP was 4.0% in 2003, partially due to higher crude oil prices, and it is projected to reach 4.2% in 2004. The non-oil segment of the UAE's economy and exports is experiencing strong growth, particularly the petrochemicals and financial services sectors. Government Structure The UAE is a federation of seven emirates - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, and Umm al-Qaiwain. Political power is concentrated in Abu Dhabi, which controls the vast majority of the UAE's economic and resource wealth. The two largest emirates Abu Dhabi and Dubai provide over 80% of the UAE's income. In June 1996, the UAE’s Federal National Council approved a permanent constitution for the country. This replaced a provisional document which had been renewed every five years since the country’s creation in 1971. The establishment of Abu Dhabi as the UAE’s permanent capital was one of the new framework’s main provisions.

[Print Friendly Version] United Arab Emirates International Religious Freedom Report Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Federal Constitution designates Islam as the official religion, and Islam is also the official religion of all seven of the constituent emirates of the federal union. The Federal Constitution also provides for the freedom to exercise religious worship in accordance with established customs, provided that it does not conflict with public policy or violate public morals, and the Government generally respects this right in practice and does not interfere with the private practice of religion; however, it controls virtually all Sunni mosques, prohibits proselytizing, and restricts the freedom of assembly and association, thereby greatly limiting the ability of religious groups without dedicated religious buildings to worship and conduct business. The Government permits de facto recognition of a small number of Christian denominations through the issuance of land use permits to build and operate churches, The status of respect for religious freedom improved somewhat during the period covered by this report. Permission for land use was given to three Christian churches, and one new church opened.

In February 1991, after the outbreak of hostilities, four raids against Iraqi targets were undertaken by the United Arab Emirates air force. Conflict arose between the United Arab Emirates and Iran in 1992 concerning the sovereignty of Abu Musa, an island situated between the states in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. The island had been administered since 1991 under a joint agreement between Iran and Sharjah, in accordance with which an Iranian garrison was stationed on the island. In April 1992 the Iranian garrison on Abu Musa was reported to have seized civilian installations on the island. There were further allegations that Iranian officials were attempting to force expatriate workers employed by the UAE to leave the island, preventing the entry of other expatriates, and increasing the number of Iranian nationals on the island.

Recent Reports Support HRW World Report 1999 Order Online FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ON THE INTERNET Even as governments around the world acknowledged the difficulties inherent in censoring the Internet, legislative proposals continued to threaten free speech. While human rights and civil liberties groups pointed out the global implications for the rights to privacy and free expression represented by such proposals, regulators around the world were quick to refine online monitoring, screening, and other controlling technologies. Filtering and Blocking Arguing that national regulatory frameworks are not appropriate to the global nature of the Internet, industry leaders joined forces to create an international Internet content rating system to "protect children and free speech" on the Web. In May they formed the Internet Content Rating Association (ICRA) to facilitate the development of an integrated self-regulatory approach to dealing with "harmful and illegal" content on the Internet. Human Rights Watch, along with other members of the Global Internet Liberty Campaign (GILC), argued for more deliberate consideration of so-called self-regulatory approaches to Internet content control. The Global Internet Liberty Campaign Member Statement (submitted in September to the Internet Content Summit) further emphasized the danger that rating and filtering systems could, in fact, facilitate government censorship.
