Administrative Resolutions in English

Administrative Resolutions Information

UAE administrative resolutions are internal-management instruments issued by the directors and chief executives of federal authorities, regulators, and government bodies. They sit at the lowest tier of binding administrative acts, below federal laws, decrees, cabinet resolutions, and ministerial resolutions. Their function is to organise the internal workings of the issuing body — appointments, delegations of signature authority, organisational charts, internal procedures — and to give effect to higher-level instruments through specific operational decisions.

The translations collected here include resolutions of the directors-general of federal regulatory authorities, organisational decisions of federal commercial entities, and procedural directions issued to staff and to the regulated public. While narrow in scope, they are often determinative in administrative-law litigation about the validity of specific decisions. For the underlying enabling instruments see UAE laws in English.

What is an administrative resolution?

An internal-facing instrument by which a federal body organises how it exercises its powers — procedures, delegations, organisational structures. It binds the authority and those dealing with it, and it is often the missing piece when a decision seems to have been taken by an official with no obvious mandate.

Are administrative resolutions published in English officially?

No. Arabic is the only official language of publication, and many administrative instruments never appear in unofficial English collections at all — which is the gap these translations cover.
