Press Release

The campaign encompasses an extensive array of information programmes which aim to raise

awareness on flag protocol. It includes the distribution of approximately 6,000 flags and
conducting a series of workshops, particularly the Flag Protocol Workshop, in various parts of

the country with the participation of volunteers to popularise the Flag Protocol among
community members and highlight its importance. The workshops are held under four themes,

including ‘The UAE Flag: History and Federal Law’, ‘UAE Flag Standards’, ‘How to Deal with
and Preserve the Flag’, and ‘Place of Honour for the Country’s Flag in Accordance with Protocol

Rules’.

The Flag Protocol Workshop is inspired by Federal Law No. (2) promulgated on December 2,
1971 and enacted by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan on the Flag Day of the UAE

and subsequently, the Cabinet Decision No. 5 of 1996 on the Regulation on Rules for Dealing

with the flag regulating the way individuals and institutions deal with while preserving its
honour. These rules ensure that the key frameworks are in place to ensure that the flag is

respected and preserved.
