Criminal justice system reflects Zayed’s legacy

I refer to your article Dedicated prosecution unit for domestic workers is a major milestone (March 9), your editorial was a meaningful and thought-provoking one. Sheikh Zayed's vision for all human beings, including domestic workers, to be treated with kindness and respect was laudable. You are right to point out that most workers are treated well and with care by their employers, but the recent incident in Kuwait, where a Filipina maid was found dead, was tragic. The decision by the government of the UAE to establish a specific prosecution unit to safeguard the interests of domestic workers in the country is remarkable, and worthy of praise.

Two unique leaders hold global safety in their hands

Please refer to your article Donald Trump agrees to meet North Korea's Kim Jong-un by May (March 9). This is by some distance the best news of 2018. Both the leaders are mercurial and highly unique. Yet, there is real hope that a face-to-face meeting between them will result in a much-needed thaw. Actually North Korea has already expressed the desire to meet South Korean leaders and put the nuclear weapons issue behind them.

Some of these positive developments could have been foretold when Kim Jong-un’s sister visited South Korea for the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang last month. We will have a safer world if North Korea is brought into the community of nations and gets rid of its nuclear weapons. So the coming talks between Mr Trump and Mr Kim are most welcome.
