5. International relations
The policy of the UAE internationally consolidates its relations
with all states in the world according to the principles of equality,
justice, mutual respect and love of good for all without exception.
Sheikh Zayed (may God have mercy upon him) said: The UAE is
keen on developing friendly relations with all countries of the
world, as this benefits both the people of the UAE and the wider
world.
The UAE supported the issues of rights and justice in the UN and
other international institutions, which enabled it to assume an
important role in establishing international relations that are
based on peace and stability.
6. Sheikh Zayed expressed that by saying: The UAEs leading position in
international organisations is the result of a moderate foreign policy
that advocates truth and justice, adopts dialogue and understanding
between brothers and friends, respects international conventions and
laws, abides by the Charter of the United Nations, respects the rules
of good neighbourliness, sovereignty and territorial integrity, does not
interfere in the internal affairs of other nations, and endeavours to
resolve disputes peacefully.
In 1978, during a meeting that took place in the White House to
commemorate the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, US President Jimmy Carter stated:
Human rights are the essence of our foreign policy, for they are
equal to the essence of the nation itself.
