Executive Office for Control & Non-Proliferation

The Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation (EOCN) plays an active role in implementing export control besides curbing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction with relevant associated technology, based on policies, legislations and partnerships domestically and internationally. The EOCN was established in the United Arab Emirates in 2009 as a body responsible for implementing the provisions of Federal Decree Law No. (43) of 2021 On the Commodities Subject to Non-Proliferation which replaces Federal Law No. (13) of 2007 Concerning Commodities Subject to Control of Import and Export. This is for the aim of preventing the illegal and unauthorized circulation of dual-use goods that contribute to the production or development of weapons of mass destruction, along with their associated technology and means of delivery.
