UK government asks UAE for assurances over free speech at Cop28 summit
Statement at UN human rights council voices ‘disappointment’ after host country refuses to change restrictive laws
The UK has asked the United Arab Emirates, one of its closest Gulf allies, to explain how it will guarantee free speech around the UN Cop28 climate summit in Dubai after the country refused to change its restrictive laws on free speech.
The refusal came after a four-yearly UN review of the UAE’s human rights record.
