A “National Tolerance Programme” was recently approved by the UAE Cabinet, chaired by Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Its aim is to promote values of peaceful coexistence between societies. The seven pillars of this Programme are Islam, the UAE constitution, the legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the ethics of the UAE, international conventions, archaeology and history, humanity, and common values.
Under this new National Tolerance Programme, a number of initiatives will be launched including the establishment of a Council for Tolerance and as well as the launch of a Tolerance Responsibility Programme for Organizations and the UAE Charter of Tolerance, Coexistence and Peace.
