potential contradictions between the two legislative levels. Participants discussed the
challenges to legislative harmony and the implications of inconsistency on the rule of law and

the administration of justice. Additionally, the workshop reviewed the benefits of legislative
consistency and the critical role of the judiciary in upholding it.

H.E. Ahmed Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General, emphasised the importance
of coordination between legislative bodies to ensure coherence and avoid conflicts that could

undermine the quality of government services or obscure rights and obligations. “Harmonising

legislative frameworks is fundamental to upholding justice and the rule of law. This workshop is
part of a series of awareness initiatives launched by the SLC to enhance legislative culture and
legal knowledge. Aligning legislation is a key enabler of sustainable development and a

cornerstone of effective governance,” he said.

Dr. Faisal Hassan Al-Omari noted that achieving legislative coherence requires institutional
collaboration at both the federal and local levels, facilitating a better understanding of legal

frameworks and unifying implementation mechanisms. “Legislative integration is vital for
developing a proactive and flexible legislative system that supports all aspects of the legislative

process,” he said.

He went on to review mechanisms of integrating local and federal legislation, citing real-world

examples of conflicts between them.

The workshop concluded with a series of recommendations aimed at embedding a culture of
collaborative legislative practice, enhancing alignment at all levels of legislation, and

addressing barriers to legislative integration.
