The Constitutional Foundations of the Structure of the Supreme Federal Authorities in the United Arab Emirates

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the constitutional foundations of the structure of the supreme federal authorities in the United Arab Emirates. According to the constitution these organs are: the Federal Supreme Council, the President and his Deputy, the Councils of Ministers, the Federal National Council and the Federal Judiciary. Each of these authorities has been briefly characterized here, showing all the specific features of the system of supreme state organs. The constitutional regulation of the system of supreme authorities in the United Arab Emirates is significantly expanded, but the Basic Law does not explicitly formulate the principle of the separation of powers. The most important body is the Federal Supreme Council, which is formed by the monarchs of the seven emirates. This structure of federal authorities is very original. It works in political practice, so as a consequence, the system of governance in the United Arab Emirates is exceptionally stable for an Islamic state in this region.
