The Judicial Department, Mr. Yousef Alabri said, is striving in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Presidential Affairs and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, to establish a pioneering and cutting-edge judiciary system that supports the protection of children's rights, in addition to supporting efforts to raise awareness and disseminate the legal culture in order to sensitise the public on children's rights and the responsibilities of those in charge of them. For his part, His Excellency Ali Mohammed Alblooshi, Attorney General of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, said that the celebration of Emirati Children's Day on 15 March every year, coinciding with the adoption of Federal Law No. 3 of 2016 concerning child rights on March 15, 2016, reflects the scope of the UAE's attention to the protection of future generations, as they are the most valuable wealth of society and the centerpiece of sustainable development and development plans in various political, social and economic aspects.
