About MNCC
The National Counselling Center (NCC) was established under Federal Decree-Law No. (28) of 2019. It is entrusted with the responsibility of counselling and rehabilitating holders of terrorist, extremist or deviant ideologies. The Center operates as an independent legal entity, fully empowered to carry out its assigned duties and responsibilities with professionalism and integrity.
Terrorism is not a local issue confined within borders—it is a global threat that weighs heavily on nations and societies alike. The United Arab Emirates has long recognized the seriousness of this challenge and its impact on peace, security, and social stability. In response, the UAE has continuously worked to combat terrorism through robust legal frameworks and qualified human expertise. It is within this national commitment that the National counselling Center was established—representing a strategic and forward-looking initiative designed to counter extremist ideologies and serve as a pioneering model for addressing the root causes of this destructive phenomenon.
The Center’s mission is to rehabilitate individuals who have been misled by extremist or deviant beliefs. Through specialized programs and counselling, it seeks to replace harmful ideologies with moderate, balanced thinking inspired by tolerant Islamic teachings and consistent with the laws of the United Arab Emirates.
To achieve this, the Center adopts well-defined mechanisms that promote correct religious values rooted in moderation, help beneficiaries develop independent and well-balanced personalities, and equip them with the skills necessary to positively reintegrate into society.
