History

Historical Context

After the UAE adopted Federal Law No. 51 on human trafficking in 2006—later tightened by the 2023 Decree-Law No. 24—Dubai opened its first victim shelter in 2008, assisting 28 trafficked persons. The framework, ratified to the UN TIP Protocol in January 2009, underpins today’s undisclosed probe by Dubai Police chief Khalid Khalifa al Avadhi into the disappearance of Lee Andrews, prompting renewed diplomatic coordination with the British Embassy.
