His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai has introduced a new recognition law.

Law No.12 of 2024, establishing prestigious scarves, medals, badges, and orders will recognise outstanding contributions in charitable, humanitarian, and voluntary work, as well as significant achievements in culture, sports, arts, and scientific fields.

These can be awarded to individuals, institutions, and companies whose efforts have made a profound impact in their respective fields. 

A dedicated team, the General Secretariat of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medals, will be established within His Highness’s Executive Office and will oversee the classification of awards and determine eligibility criteria.

The introduction of these honors underscores His Highness Sheikh Mohammed’s commitment to fostering excellence across various sectors and honoring those who contribute significantly to society.

The awards aim to encourage continued dedication to humanitarian causes, scientific advancement, and cultural enrichment, reflecting Dubai’s commitment to global leadership. 

The law will take effect upon its publication in the Official Gazette, marking a significant milestone in Dubai’s efforts to celebrate and support excellence in charitable, scientific, and cultural endeavors.
