Statement by H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al Muhairi,

SLC Secretary General, on the World Humanitarian Day

18 August 2024: “World Humanitarian Day highlights the significance of noble

humanitarian activities and initiatives, serving as an opportunity to commemorate the

immense efforts and generous contributions of philanthropists and benefactors
globally, and to promote the values of giving and extending a helping hand to those

affected by crises and disasters everywhere, without discrimination, instilling the
principle of human fraternity.

In the UAE, humanitarian work holds profound significance as a fundamental value and

an essential characteristic of our society. Rooted deeply in our culture, it draws
inspiration from the vision of our wise leadership and the legacy of our Founding

Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

On this occasion, we, at the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai

(SLC), extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the compassionate Emirati
people who have always set honourable examples in assisting those in need and
instilling hope within communities grappling with challenges, conflicts, and disasters.

This aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al

Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who
emphasised that ‘Fostering hope stands as the highest manifestation of humanitarian

work and the noblest virtues’.

As a testament to our belief in the importance of humanitarian work, we reiterate our
commitment to developing a legislative system that supports humanitarian work and

streamlining and regulating the processes of delivering humanitarian aid to those in
need, wherever they may be.”
