United Arab Emirates Constitution

An Emirate has the right to request the assistance of the armed or security forces of the UAE to keep security and order within its territories if the Emirate is exposed to danger. Such request is submitted immediately to the Federal Supreme Council to take any decision it may think suitable.

The Supreme Council may get the assistance of the local armed forces of any Emirate for this purpose subject to the approval of the Emirate requesting assistance and the Emirate to which the forces belong.

In case of the absence of the Supreme Council, the President of the UAE and the Federal Council of Ministers together may take any immediate necessary action which cannot be delayed and may call on the Supreme Council to meet immediately.
