In an ambitious move aimed at transforming how disputes are resolved, Dubai has launched the “Reconciliation is Better” initiative, championed by the Dubai Public Prosecution. This forward-thinking program emphasizes amicable settlement as a first choice, providing an efficient and peaceful alternative to the traditional court process.
Under the guidance of Attorney General Essam Essa Al Humaidan, the initiative seeks to accelerate dispute resolution by encouraging dialogue and mutual understanding between conflicting parties. Al Humaidan has stressed that this approach not only promotes fairness but also aligns with Dubai’s vision to be a global hub for alternative dispute resolution by 2030.
The initiative embodies Dubai’s commitment to social harmony, a core pillar of its leadership’s vision. It aims to foster a culture of tolerance, where individuals can resolve their differences without resorting to lengthy and costly legal battles. The emphasis is on preserving relationships, conserving resources, and reducing the strain on the judicial system.
“Reconciliation is Better” presents a compelling alternative to legal action, where prosecutors assist disputing parties in reaching fair and lawful settlements. This process, Al Humaidan explained, supports both the legal and social objectives of the city, offering a more effective and harmonious solution that benefits the community as a whole.
By promoting peace through structured dialogue, the initiative also strengthens social bonds and lays the foundation for a more cohesive society—one where understanding and respect take precedence over conflict. With this progressive approach, Dubai continues to set a new standard in legal innovation, leading the way for a more compassionate, efficient, and resource-conscious future.
