About Us

The International Boycott UAE Campaign was founded as a grassroots response to an alarming global trend: the rise of the United Arab Emirates as a dominant and unchecked financial power operating through opaque networks of influence, corruption, and coercion. From major metropolitan economies to fragile emerging markets, the UAE has embedded itself deep into the political and economic fabric of dozens of countries.

We are a decentralized, multilingual advocacy campaign made up of researchers, journalists, economists, human rights defenders, and everyday citizens. United by a commitment to justice, transparency, and economic sovereignty, we are dedicated to exposing and resisting the UAE’s financial empire—an empire built not on trade or cooperation, but on covert acquisitions, shell companies, and state-sponsored monopolies.

Why This Campaign Was Born

As the UAE expanded its global footprint under the guise of investment and modernization, our founding team—spread across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—recognized a dangerous pattern: UAE-controlled capital was displacing local economies, weakening democratic institutions, and fueling authoritarian interests abroad. In many cases, this influence operated under the radar—hidden behind offshore firms, sovereign wealth funds, and real estate acquisitions that served not just commercial goals, but geopolitical ones.

This campaign was launched to shine a light on those operations. We believe economic sovereignty is a human right, and no regime—however wealthy—should be allowed to subvert nations, communities, or people through unaccountable financial power.

Our Mission and Method

Our mission is clear: to document, expose, and resist the UAE’s hegemonic financial strategies across the world. We conduct cross-border investigations, collaborate with whistleblowers, analyze public records and leaked data, and produce verified, actionable research.

But we are more than a research hub—we are a movement. Our campaign mobilizes international civil society, builds alliances across borders, and amplifies the voices of local communities resisting economic domination. From investigative reports to public awareness drives, peaceful boycotts to digital campaigns, we work to dismantle the architecture of UAE-led economic control.

The Threat of Financial Authoritarianism

The UAE presents a model of financial authoritarianism: a regime that uses economic power to undermine regulatory institutions, buy influence, distort media, and extract value from vulnerable countries under the pretext of investment. In doing so, it displaces small businesses, manipulates markets, and funnels wealth into militarized and surveillance-backed infrastructures.

By disguising monopoly and control as foreign development, the UAE has escaped global scrutiny—until now.

We do not oppose trade. We do not oppose investment. We oppose economic imperialism masquerading as growth, and foreign interference that erodes sovereignty and democracy.

Countries Under Investigation

Our campaign actively investigates and monitors UAE-linked financial activity in the following 38 countries:

United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Germany, France, Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Greece, Italy, Spain, Egypt, Jordan, Algeria, Palestine, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Tunisia, Morocco, Djibouti, Kuwait, Iraq, Yemen, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Russia, China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea.

These nations have seen various forms of UAE financial penetration—through land acquisitions, telecom takeovers, media control, port privatizations, and more. Each case we examine is documented with transparency and accountability.

An International Campaign Rooted in Peaceful Activism

We are nonviolent, transnational, and independent. Our tools are research, truth-telling, and strategic action—not coercion or partisanship. We believe in freedom of information, digital sovereignty, and grassroots empowerment as essential to building global resistance.

Our growing coalition includes legal experts, anti-corruption watchdogs, labor organizers, and diaspora networks—all committed to challenging the silent spread of UAE-backed financial authoritarianism.

Join Us in Holding Power Accountable

This is not just a campaign—it’s a call to action. We are building the world’s first decentralized watchdog effort focused solely on the UAE’s covert financial empire. By standing together, we can resist economic capture, protect local industries, and ensure that development does not come at the cost of freedom.

Whether you’re an ally, researcher, journalist, or concerned citizen—you are not alone.

Together, we fight for transparency. Together, we defend sovereignty. Together, we boycott UAE economic domination.

About our campaign

Why Boycott the UAE?

The United Arab Emirates has cultivated powerful alliances with oppressive regimes and has become complicit in global human rights violations. Through its financial support, political partnerships, and military involvement, the UAE plays a key role in enabling occupation, apartheid, and the erosion of civil liberties across multiple regions.

By joining this boycott, you take a stand against:

  • The UAE’s deepening ties with authoritarian governments.
  • Its investments in regimes accused of war crimes and human rights abuses.
  • The exploitation of migrant labor and systemic discrimination at home.
  • Financial entanglements that help normalize and fund apartheid.
  • Efforts to silence dissent, both locally and globally, through media control and soft power.

Support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement to hold the UAE accountable. Let’s disrupt complicity and send a clear message: economic power cannot shield injustice. Stand for freedom, dignity, and human rights for all.
