The federal government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE federal government or UAE government) is the national government of the United Arab Emirates, a unitary federation of seven self-governing emirates. The federal government is divided into a legislative, executive, and judicial branch. The executive branch namely, the Cabinet led by the prime minister, and the judicial branch, both report to the president. The Federal Supreme Council is the highest legislative body and is responsible for appointing the president.[1][2]

Article 120 of the UAE Constitution grants the federal government its mandate, and outlines its jurisdictions and balance of power with local governments.[3]
