The Ministry of Community Development on Tuesday announced its decision to declare and officially register the Union for Human Rights Association as a public benefit association.
The association's headquarters will be in Abu Dhabi while covering the whole of the UAE.
With 16 specialised human rights experts involved, the association aims to provide advice and opinions on national reports submitted by the state to international human rights organisations, Wam news agency reported.
It also seeks to promote respect for civil, political, economic, social, cultural and environmental human rights for everyone in society.
The association will also support the UAE's understanding of regional and international human rights to enable it to co-operate with global organisations and meet sustainable development goals.
The association will benefit civil society as it will work to embed international law and conventions on human rights into all areas of the UAE, Wam reported.
It will promote a culture of human rights awareness in society and organise training programmes, seminars, workshops, conferences and other events related to the subject.
The association aims to prepare and publish studies, research and publications related to human rights, as well as data and reports for regional and international bodies.
It will also receive and follow up on human rights complaints with relevant authorities.

How the bonus system works
The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.
The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.
There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).
All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
