The United Arab Emirates (UAE) war crimes are violations of international criminal law (including war crimes, crime against humanity and complicity in torture) which the Emirates has committed or is accused of committing, primarily in Yemen, Libya, and Syria. These accusations include arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, and cruel and inhuman treatment.[1][2] Additionally, the Emirates has been complicit in civil wars by acting as a conduit for arms and supporting abusive local militias.[3]
