ABU DHABI // The Cabinet has agreed on a protocol organisations can follow if they wish to be removed from the UAE’s terror list.
Last November, a list was released of 83 groups the UAE considered terrorist organisations.
Although several groups on the list – including the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIL and Al Qaeda – have long been declared by Government officials as terrorist organisations, it was the first time such a list was made public.
The list includes lesser-known international groups.
At the Cabinet meeting on Sunday, the council of ministers agreed on procedures for appealing against the classification.
First, an organisation must appeal to the Ministry of Justice. The ministry will then refer the request to the Supreme National Security Council, which has the right to seek further information through the Ministry of Justice.
The council will provide a decision on the appeal to the Ministry of Presidential Affairs, which will in turn respond to the Cabinet. The appealer will be informed of the final decision by the Ministry of Justice.
No set time has been set for how long such procedures would take.

HIV on the rise in the region
A 2019 United Nations special analysis on Aids reveals 37 per cent of new HIV infections in the Mena region are from people injecting drugs.
New HIV infections have also risen by 29 per cent in western Europe and Asia, and by 7 per cent in Latin America, but declined elsewhere.
Egypt has shown the highest increase in recorded cases of HIV since 2010, up by 196 per cent.
Access to HIV testing, treatment and care in the region is well below the global average.
Few statistics have been published on the number of cases in the UAE, although a UNAIDS report said 1.5 per cent of the prison population has the virus.
