Prime Minister Resolutions in English

Prime Minister Resolutions Information

UAE Prime Minister resolutions are instruments issued by the Prime Minister of the UAE in the capacity of head of the Council of Ministers. They are used to make appointments and decisions within the executive branch in matters where the Constitution or federal legislation confers authority on the Prime Minister rather than the Council collectively. The form is also used to formally close out cabinet decisions that are subject to further refinement by the head of government.

The resolutions translated here cover senior administrative appointments to federal authorities, designations of acting officials, internal restructurings of ministries, and decisions delegating specified powers to ministers and authority chairs. They sit below federal laws and federal decrees in the hierarchy of norms but are binding on the federal administration. For the Council of Ministers' collective output see UAE Cabinet Resolutions; for federal statutes see UAE laws in English.

How does a Prime Minister resolution differ from a Cabinet resolution?

A Cabinet resolution records a decision of the Council of Ministers as a body; a Prime Minister resolution is issued by the PM in his own capacity, usually on appointments, committees, and matters delegated to him by law. Both implement rather than create primary legislation.

Are these instruments still cited years after issue?

Frequently, yes. Committee structures and delegations of authority created by these resolutions can remain the legal basis for a body's actions long after the instrument itself has faded from view — which is usually the moment someone needs the text in English.
