Abu Dhabi International Book Fair:
The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is an annual book fair held in Abu Dhabi. It provides a platform where publishers, booksellers, agents, cultural organisations and press can meet, exchange ideas and identify business opportunities. Since 2007 it has been organised by KITAB, a joint venture between the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and the Frankfurt Book Fair.
The ADIBF forms part of KITAB’s strategy to transform Abu Dhabi into a major centre in the publishing world. The 2009 fair hosted 637 publishing houses from 52 countries with a record number of visitors, with 200,000 attending over the six days. 2010: 840 exhibitors from 63 countries.
The ADIBF brings together the Arab and International publishing communities. The fair provides access to publishers in the entire MENA region, and as such is an important event in the negotiation and sale of book rights and licensing. In 2009/10 KITAB and ADACH launched the Spotlight on Rights Programme, which awards a subsidy of $1000 towards costs to encourage the negotiation of licenses to and from the Arabic language. The fair also hosts events as part of its ongoing Cultural (KITAB Sofa) and Professional Program.

Abu Dhabi Judicial Department:
In 2006, the Abu Dhabi Government launched a historic government-wide restructuring program. The goal of the program is to create a cohesive government structure that will provide comprehensive world class services to the residents, visitors and businesses. The program was also intended to translate the ambitious vision of placing the Emirate of Abu Dhabi gradually on the list of the world five best governments.
Based on this vision, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in His Capacity as the Ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, issued law No. (23) of 2006 to restructure Abu Dhabi Judicial Department. The law represented a first step in Abu Dhabi’s pursuit to establish a world class independent judicial system that administers justice impartially and safeguard the rule of the law.
Law (23) provided for the establishment of the Judicial Council to be headed by the President of the Court of Cassation. It approves judge appointments, promotions and secondments; and it is to be consulted over matters related to the judiciary and Public Prosecution.
The Law also stipulated the formation of Courts of First Instance, Appeal and Cassation in the Emirate. Courts of First Instance are constituted of civil, commercial, criminal, administrative and personal status circuits, as well other circuits to be formed upon recommendations by the Judicial Council. Moreover, the Law pointed out the qualifications to be met by the staff in charge of adjudication, established Public Prosecution headed by the Attorney General and a sufficient number of members.
