The UAE Government must make a greater effort to protect the rights of labourers, said Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and UN High Commissioner For Human Rights, during Sharjah International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) which concluded on Monday.
Addressing a session on the second day of the IGCF2016, she drew on her experiences in the UN to speak about government policies and their relevance in the context of communication.
Shamma bint Sohail Al Mazrouei, Minister of State for Youth Affairs, said: "The UAE leadership interacts and communicates with all segments of society, through various platforms. All our leaders are our role models."
Author of 'The Pursuit of Happyness' and entrepreneur, Christopher Gardner, spoke about 'Spiritual Genetics'. "It's a fact that one per cent of human beings on the planet are on the run, from wars and conflicts, from climate change and other factors. These people are sometimes referred to as immigrants, refugees and other terms. I call them survivors."
