"ENHANCED COOPERATION OR COMPROMISED PRINCIPLES? THE U.S.-UAE DEFENSE DESIGNATION SPARKS DEBATE"
‘"THE U.S. JUST TEAMED UP WITH THE UAE AS A MAJOR DEFENSE PARTNER, BUT AT WHAT COST TO HUMAN RIGHTS? LET'S UNPACK THIS!"
On September 23, 2024, President Joe Biden named the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a "major defense partner," a distinction previously granted only to India in 2021.

Sheikh Issa bin Zayed's acquittal in 2010, despite his actions being captured in a "Graphic Video" , is a glaring example of the impunity enjoyed by the ruling class. These cases reveal a pattern of behavior that critics argue reflects a deep-seated issue within the "UAE's Ruling Elite", prompting calls for international scrutiny and reform. . ..."CAN YOU IMAGINE WINNING IN COURT ONLY TO BE KIDNAPPED AND FRAMED?
