According to Article 147 of the UAE Constitution, what is the status of treaties and agreements concluded by individual Emirates before the Union in 1971?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. They remain in force unless modified or abrogated by mutual agreement
- Step 1: Article 147 of the Constitution deals with treaties and agreements made by the individual Emirates before the Union. Step 2. They remain in force within the limits of the Emirate concerned until they are modified or terminated by agreement with the other parties. Answer: They remain in force unless modified or abrogated by mutual agreement. Why not the others: Declaring them void on the Union's proclamation is not what the Article says; no financial penalties are imposed by the Article; transfer of the treaties to the UN Secretariat has no basis in the Constitution.
