Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Sunday, June 16th 2013 [ME NewsWire]
The joint commission comprising of Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Social Affairs discussed the federal draft law on juveniles for the year 2012. The discussions were held in the Juveniles Care Center of the Abu Dhabi Police in Al Mafraq, where the attendees exchanged views on the draft law, which contains 95 articles related to the rights of juveniles and organizes the work mechanisms between authorities concerned with implementing the law.
Brigadier Ahmed Mohammed Nehkairah, Head of Human Rights Department in the Ministry of Interior, and Chairman of the Juveniles Care Center Steering Committee said the draft law develops protection and rehabilitation mechanisms, and supervision of the social, health, psychological and moral affairs related to juveniles.
He noted that all the articles in the draft law affirm that sentencing juveniles is not a freedom-blocking punishment; it is a rehabilitation program protecting them from deviating in the future. It also provides all procedures to preserve rights and duties. He said that the draft law determines powers and the basis of coordination between concerned authorities in the UAE and the Juvenile Care Centers.
He added that the draft law committee presented a detailed presentation on the draft law’s articles, and was discussed by all Juvenile Care Centers in the UAE along with the Ministry of Interior, the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the National Rehabilitation Center. He mentioned that the discussions between those entities resulted in the final form of the project.
Colonel Dr. Abdullah Muhammed Bu Hindi, Director of Juveniles Care Center, emphasized the importance of the draft law in providing the required care to juveniles and rehabilitating them. This helps them reach a social consensus, integration in a proper social environment to make them a healthy part of society, which can be good for themselves, families and society through legislative and regulatory regulations. He explained that procedures and rehabilitation has to be based on a law that organizes these processes and the care extended to juveniles in general.
The discussion was attended by Muhammed Rashid Ahmed Al Thanhani, the Head of the Family Prosecution; Mahmoud Al Shayeb, Specialist in Managing Social Protection in the Ministry of Social Affairs; and representatives of the ministry.
