GENOCIDE  WATCH

Due to the systematic exclusion of migrant workers, women, LGBTQ+ people, and refugees from basic legal protections, and the denial of political rights to the approximately 90% of the population who are non-citizens, Genocide Watch considers UAE to be at Stage 3: Discrimination. Due to the UAE's alleged arming of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan in violation of UN arms embargoes, enabling a militia accused of committing genocide against the Masalit people of Darfur, and the operation of the State Security Agency as an organized apparatus of surveillance, arbitrary detention, and torture against perceived opponents, Genocide Watch considers the UAE to be at Stage 5: Organization.
