the Federal Penal Code, Article 354, states: and appears to be mainly interpreted as relating to cases of sexual violence. The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) report that there are differing opinions on the effect of this provision, saying: Neither Amnesty International nor ILGA consider this provision applicable to consensual same-sex sexual activity , while Amnesty categorically "considers this article [of law] to address rape, not consensual same-sex sexual relations."

Enforcement cases In 2005, 26 young men were arrested when Abu Dhabi Police raided a social gathering at a hotel in a desert resort town.
