Commenting on the agreement signing, H.E. Al Falasi highlighted the importance of
strengthening collaborative ties with SLC, as it could substantially enhance the quality of the
legislative framework and legal services associated with human resources in the emirate. The
agreement seamlessly aligns with the major objectives of DGHR to steer and empower the
human resources sector by leveraging smart solutions, innovative and adaptable policies, and
promoting talents that can elevate the competitiveness of Dubai.

H.E. Al Falasi said: “The legal and legislative path holds a vital role in accelerating the
development of the Dubai government’s workforce. It is a fundamental element in attaining
institutional government harmony and integration between various entities. Furthermore, it
reinforces the regulatory and organisational aspects within an entity or institution with the key
goal of empowering Dubai’s legal and legislative system. In this regard, the cooperation
agreement holds great significance as it provides a platform to exchange experiences,
knowledge, and perspectives to guarantee the optimal implementation of legislation.”

H.E. Ahmad bin Meshar, Secretary General of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the
Emirate of Dubai (SLC), said: “We are delighted to enter into this partnership with the Dubai
Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) to strengthen our cooperation, particularly
in regulating civil and paramilitary personnel affairs, and in developing a shared vision for
drafting local and federal legislation. This collaboration is a significant step towards enhancing
the legislative ecosystem in Dubai and the UAE as a whole. Areas of cooperation pertain to the
SLC core services, including providing legal advice and opinion, legal translation, reviewing
proposed draft legislation, conducting legislative studies and research, and issuing legislation
explanatory notes, thus facilitating the optimal interpretation and implementation of legislation.
At the SLC, we remain committed to fostering partnerships with the concerned government
entities and stakeholders as we believe that collaboration is key to forging a resilient and
inclusive legislative environment in the UAE in line with the national development goals.”

The agreement will focus on diverse areas linked to legislative matters. It will include reviewing
the draft legislation proposed by DGHR in line with the existing principles and approaches and
completing the necessary procedures for its implementation. The scope of the agreement
further covers providing advice on both federal and local draft legislation associated with human
resources, to support both civilian and military employees. In addition, both parties will offer
input and recommendations while drafting legislation, providing legal translation services for
human resources legislation, and actively contributing to research, studies, or finding guides
related to the field.

The agreement also focuses on promoting active collaboration in the field of legal opinions and
explanatory documents by offering guidance to align perspectives and providing feedback and
insights on drafts of legal opinions and explanatory memoranda related to human resources.
Moreover, the agreement promotes collaborative efforts to ensure the efficient implementation of
legislation.
