Shaikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has expressed the UAE's concern about the US Congress adopting the law referred to as the 'Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act.'
He said that this law is contrary to general liability rules and the principle of sovereignty enjoyed by states.
Shaikh Abdullah said in a statement,

"This law is not equal with the foundations and principles of relations among states, and represents a clear violation given its negative repercussions and dangerous precedents."
He stressed that the UAE is looking forward to the US legislative authorities reviewing the law and not ratifying it in light of the serious consequences associated with implementing this law on the well-established international principles attached to sovereignty, which, he said, represents a cornerstone of international relations.
Shaikh Abdullah warned of the negative effects of the law on all countries, including the United States, and the possible impact of chaos in the context of international relations, emphasising that such laws will negatively affect international efforts and cooperation to combat terrorism.
He concluded by saying that the UAE is looking to the US authorities to not endorse this law in order to ensure the maintenance of accepted international systems and principles.
