Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Reaffirming section 16 of its general recommendation 30 (2004) on discrimination against non-citizens, the Committee recommends that the State party consider modifying its legislation in order to allow children of Emirati women to receive citizenship in conformity with the provisions of non-discrimination stipulated in article 5 (d) (iii) of the Convention. (...) The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) continue its efforts to verify the nationality of the “Bidoun” without discrimination and grant nationality as appropriate; and (b) take appropriate measures to ensure their equal access to the labour market (article 5 (d) (iii) and (e)(i)).83 Recalling its general recommendation No. 30 (2004) on discrimination against non-citizens, the Committee recommends that the State party take measures to consider applications for citizenship from Bidoon residing in the State party. The Committee also recommends that the State party provide Bidoon with the documentation necessary to access health care, education, employment and State-provided services, without discrimination. The Committee recommends that the State party accede to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness and the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons. Recalling its general recommendation No. 30, especially paragraph 16 on reduction of statelessness, particularly among children, the Committee recommends that the State party revise the directive of 2 December 2011 to allow women to transmit their citizenship to their children from birth, without discrimination.84 Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that: (...) (b) Naturalization procedures are fully accessible to persons with disabilities and that any person with a disability can choose to apply for nationality of the United Arab Emirates on an equal basis with others; (c) All Bidouns with disabilities enjoy the right to a nationality and have access to services and that all Bidoun children with disabilities have a birth certificate and are able to exercise all the rights enshrined in the Convention. The Committee recommends that the State party adopt a strategy to promote the rights of persons with disabilities, including Bidouns, to live independently and be included in the community, which includes developing community-based services, providing personal assistance and rendering existing services inclusive, regardless of place of residence, and to systematically provide information to persons with disabilities and their families on how to 83 CERD, ‘Concluding Observations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination: United Arab Emirates’, CERD/C/ARE/CO/17, (21 September 2009), para. 17, available at: https://documents-ddsny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/G09/450/74/PDF/G0945074.pdf?OpenElement. 84 CERD, ‘Concluding Observations of the Combined eighteenth to twenty-first periodic reports of the United Arab Emirates’, CERD/C/ARE/CO/19-21, (13 September 2017), para. 28, available at: https://documents-ddsny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/G17/266/53/PDF/G1726653.pdf?OpenElement. 16
