The rule of law and the guarantee of property and other legal rights by the state are the basis of free market, which is the most effective way of generating and distributing wealth in a society.
So the commitment of the UAE towards ensuring the sovereignty of the law and the independence of the judiciary will increase business confidence, attract foreign investment and strengthen the economy. This commitment to good governance in Dubai was underlined by Essam Eisa Al Humaidan, the Attorney General, during the 6th International Association of Prosecutors Middle East and Asia-Pacific Regional Conference. The conference was inaugurated by Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
