Human Trafficking Specialist

Diploma

Francesca September 9, 2025

Dubai Police, in partnership with the Dubai Judicial Institute, the National
Committee to Combat Human Trafficking, and the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime (UNODC), inaugurated the 11th edition of the Anti-Human
Trafficking Specialist Diploma.

The programme brings together 74 participants from nine Gulf and Arab countries and builds on more than a decade
of regional and international collaboration in combating human trafficking.

The opening ceremony was attended by H.E. Judge Abdul Rahman Murad Al Balooshi, Deputy Chair of the National
Committee to Combat Human Trafficking and Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice; H.E. Major General Saif bin
Abid, Acting Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Excellence and Pioneering Affairs at Dubai Police; H.E. Judge Dr.
Ebtisam Al Bedwawi, Director of the Dubai Judicial Institute; and Dr. Mohannad Dweikat, Regional Coordinator for the
UNODC in the GCC. Senior Dubai Police officers also attended, including Brigadier Abdul Rahman Al Shaer, Director
of the General Department of Human Rights, and Colonel Saeed Al Helli, Director of the Human Trafficking
Monitoring Centre.

Institutional cooperation

Major General Saif bin Abid welcomed the participants and noted the diploma’s role over the past ten years in
strengthening expertise in the field. He underlined that the programme reflects the UAE’s commitment to human
rights and the development of professional capacities to confront crimes that violate human dignity, especially those
affecting women and children.

Judge Abdul Rahman Al Balooshi highlighted the state’s comprehensive approach to combating trafficking, with an
emphasis on victim protection and care. He also referred to the electronic referral system for victims of trafficking,
recently introduced by the National Committee, which uses artificial intelligence to improve victim identification,
coordination, and data analysis.

Adapting to new challenges

Dr. Mohannad Dweikat described the diploma as the result of a constructive strategic partnership. He noted that the
programme has developed in line with evolving forms of organised crime and international standards in investigation
and prosecution. The 11th edition includes specialised modules on parallel financial investigations, AI applications,
and cyber-related trafficking cases.

Since its establishment, the diploma has graduated 761 participants from various Gulf and Arab countries, with many
continuing their training to become certified trainers and experts supporting UNODC efforts in the region.
