UAE Attorney General Strengthens Judicial Ties with Switzerland and Kazakhstan

Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi has advanced bilateral cooperation agreements during discussions at the UN Crime Prevention Congress, focusing on cross-border case coordination and criminal justice expertise.

The UAE Attorney General, Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi, has reinforced the Emirates’ commitment to international judicial cooperation through substantive discussions with senior legal officials from Switzerland and Kazakhstan, held during the 15th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Abu Dhabi.

In meetings with Stefan Blättler, Attorney General of Switzerland, Dr. Al Shamsi explored pathways to expand judicial cooperation between the two nations, with particular emphasis on the exchange of legal expertise and coordinated approaches to contemporary criminal challenges. The discussions reflected shared commitment to addressing the sophisticated and evolving nature of transnational crime.

Concurrently, Dr. Al Shamsi met with Zhumagali Askhat Zhumagaliuly, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to strengthen collaboration between the public prosecution authorities of both nations. The agenda centred on developing robust channels for cooperation in cross-border cases, recognising the operational imperatives of contemporary law enforcement in an increasingly interconnected world.

These diplomatic initiatives underscore the UAE’s prominent role in fostering international legal cooperation and reinforcing mechanisms that enhance the effectiveness of judicial systems across borders. By establishing stronger frameworks for information exchange and coordinated prosecution efforts, the meetings advance shared objectives in combating transnational crime and promoting the rule of law.

The convergence of these discussions at the United Nations Congress provides a significant platform for advancing multilateral cooperation in criminal justice matters, positioning the UAE as an active participant in strengthening global judicial infrastructure and addressing cross-border legal challenges.
