Federal Decrees Information
UAE federal decrees are instruments issued by the President of the UAE in exercise of executive authority under the Constitution. They are used to ratify international treaties, appoint senior federal officials, dissolve or convene the Federal National Council, and to enact measures of statutory force where urgency or constitutional design requires presidential action. Federal decrees are distinct from federal decree-laws, which substitute for ordinary legislation between FNC sessions.
The translations on this page cover decrees ratifying bilateral treaties, joining international conventions, restructuring federal authorities, and appointing judicial and executive officers. They are essential reading for understanding the formal entry into force of treaty obligations and the institutional architecture of the federal government. For ordinary federal legislation see UAE laws in English.
What do UAE Federal Decrees typically deal with?
Most instruments in this series ratify international agreements, make senior appointments, or bring specific provisions of existing federal laws into operation. They are shorter than laws but often decisive — a decree is frequently the document that tells you when and how a treaty took effect for the UAE.
Is a Federal Decree the same as a Federal Decree-Law?
No. A decree-law is primary legislation issued by the President with the force of a federal law. A plain decree is an executive instrument made under existing legislation. The two series are numbered separately, which is worth checking when a citation gives only a number and year.
