UAE names extremist groups as terrorists


The UAE announced on Saturday a list of 83 organisations it considers terror groups.

Those designated include the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIL, Al Qaeda, and Yemen’s Houthi movement, along with other groups in the Middle East and Europe.

The UAE had earlier supported Saudi Arabia’s designation of the Brotherhood as a terrorist group but had not done so itself until now. Among those listed was Al Islah, considered by the government to be the branch of the Brotherhood in the UAE.

The listing of the terror groups, which was approved by the Council of Ministers and published by state news agency Wam, comes at a time when the UAE has enacted more assertive policies — both at home and abroad — aimed at countering the spread of political Islam.

These policies saw the government back a decision by Egypt’s military to remove Islamist president Mohammed Morsi from power in 2013, following large-scale demonstrations against his rule.

As Islamist militias in Libya took over Tripoli earlier this year, the UAE offered support to the elected government which is currently based in the east of the country.

Along with several other Arab states, the UAE also joined the US-led coalition against ISIL and its air force is currently involved in airstrikes against the militants in Syria.

“We have been an integral part of the operation,” the commander of the UAE air force, Major General Ibrahim Al Alawi, told The Washington Post. “We have shown that we can do the job.”

Along with well-known outfits such as Al Qaeda, Ansar Al Sharia, and the Pakistani Taliban, the terror list includes lesser known groups such as the Islamic Association in Finland and the Britain-based Cordoba Foundation.

The Qatar-based Union of Muslim Scholars, headed by controversial cleric Youssef Al Qaradawi was listed, along with the Badr Organisation, an Iraqi Shiite political party and militia backed by Iran.

Also listed were the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, the Emirati Jihad cells, Boko Haram, and Syria’s Al Tawhid Brigade.

Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a professor of political science at Emirates University, described the list of terror groups as the most comprehensive released by the UAE that he was aware of.

The international scope of the designations underscores how the UAE, one of the few bastions of stability in the Middle East, is enacting tough measures against extremist groups to prevent any threat to its security.

“I think the UAE has gone to a policy of what I would call pre-emptive defence, meaning going to the source before they reach here,” he said.

Mr Abdullah noted that the announcement followed updated anti-terrorism legislation, that included harsh punishments for those found guilty of extremist actions or affiliations.

Mr Abdullah also noted the large number of designations.

While the list shows the breath of the UAE’s definition of terrorism, making it public was also considered a step towards making government policy more transparent. Mr Abdullah said the lists inform people “in the country that these are the bad guys, to stay away from them and to stay away from financing them”.

The decision to combat Islamists has not been without repercussions. On Thursday, car bombs exploded outside the shuttered UAE and Egyptian embassies in Tripoli.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, blamed the attack on Ansar Al Sharia and the Fajr Libya Islamist militias.

The UAE’s strong stance against Islamist groups has also led to increased tensions with fellow Gulf Cooperation Council member Qatar, which backs such groups throughout the region, including the Muslim Brotherhood.

That support has also put Qatar at odds with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, which included the Brotherhood on a list of terror designations released in March.

Mr Abdullah said it was good the UAE had released a list of its own.

“It’s a rather long list. The UAE has taken upon itself a hard job in fighting these bad guys,” he said.

But the effort was aimed at keeping “the home as safe and secure as possible”, he said.

Protocol for removal from UAE terror list approved by Cabinet

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.

UAE Cabinet approves issuing of decree over terrorist organisations list
The decree includes measures to appeal against an inclusion in the designated terrorist organisations list according to set procedures.

Dubai: The UAE Cabinet yesterday approved issuing of a decree on measures to appeal against an inclusion in the designated terrorist organisations list according to set procedures.

This comes in line with the provisions of Federal Law No. 7 of the year 2014 on combatting terrorist crimes, which was issued by the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Cabinet’s own resolution on the designation of terrorist organisations. The decree identifies measures as follows:

The appeal request shall be submitted to the Ministry of Justice according to set procedures and given providing all required documents.

The Ministry will then refer the request to the Supreme National Security Council for further consideration. The Council will have the right to seek further explanations or additional documents through Ministry of Justice.

The Supreme National Security Council will provide the decision on the appeal to the Ministry of Presidential Affairs. Ministry of Presedential Affairs will submit the appeal to the Cabinet according to set procedures including the response of the Supreme National Security Council. Ministry of Justice will inform the person of the Cabinet’s decision.

In November last year the UAE Cabinet had issued a list of 83 terrorist organisations and groups approved by the Cabinet.

The list is in implementation of Federal Law No. 7 for 2014 on combating terrorist crimes, issued by Shaikh Khalifa and the Cabinet’s own resolution on the designation of terrorist organisations that provided for the publication of the lists in the media for the purposes of transparency and to raise awareness in society about these organisations.

The federal cabinet approved the list of designated terrorist organisations as part of its move to define legal and legislative mechanisms in the fight against terrorist crimes.

Besides seeking to protect the community from extremist ideology, it also aims to cut access to all forms material and moral support for terrorism and to drain its resources.The government has also stated that those named in the list of terrorist organisations can appeal against the decision. Article 33 of Law 7 stipulates rules and procedures for revisions of the list of terrorist organisations and states that list is subject to regular review on at least an annual basis.

The law also allows countries that support designated terrorist organisations, or who permit them to operate within the borders, to provide evidence of any change in their behaviour or practices during the course of such reviews.

The UAE has always believed that incitement creates an environment which breeds terrorism and paves the way for terrorist acts. Consequently, the list includes some groups which incite terrorism, helping create an environment in which terrorist acts may occur.

It blacklists Al Qaeda and the ISIS, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood and Yemen’s Houthi militia.
