Election[edit] Term of office[edit] Duties and responsibilities[edit] Nuclear program of Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is not known to have a nuclear weapons program. From an official and public standpoint, Saudi Arabia has been an opponent of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, having signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and is a member of the coalition of countries demanding a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East.[1][2] Studies of nuclear proliferation have not identified Saudi Arabia as a country of concern.[3] However, over the years there have been media reports of Saudi Arabia's intent to purchase a nuclear weapon from an outside source.
In 2003, a leaked strategy paper laid out three possible options for the Saudi government: to acquire a nuclear deterrent, to ally with and become protected by an existing nuclear nation, or to try to reach agreement on having a nuclear-free Middle East. Nuclear program[edit] Saudi Arabia has denied manufacturing the nuclear weapons under its peaceful civilian nuclear program.

Human rights in the United Arab Emirates. Human rights are legally protected by the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates, which confers equality, liberty, rule of law, presumption of innocence in legal procedures, inviolability of the home, freedom of movement, freedom of opinion and speech, freedom of communication, freedom of religion, freedom of council and association, freedom of occupation, freedom to be elected to office and others onto all citizens, within the limit of the law.[1] The UAE is held to be one of the most liberal countries in the Middle East, particularly when compared to its neighbor, Saudi Arabia.
The UAE has one of the strongest human rights records in the region, a fact recognised in November 2012 when the UAE was elected to the UN Human Rights Council for a three-year term.[2] Much more is required, however, to bring the records up to international levels.[3] According to the U.S. Department of State annual report on human rights practices, the UAE is violating a number of fundamental practices.
