Ridwan Baradust

Ridwan Yassir Abu Youssef Baradust (رضوان ياسر أبو يوسف برادوست; b. 15 July 1977 in Manbij, Syria, is the current Undersheriff of the Arab Union, in office since 30 November 2017. As Undersheriff of the Arab Union, Baradust is the country's second-highest ranking law enforcement official at the federal level, outranked only by the Sheriff of the Arab Union, who appoints the Undersheriff and to whom the Undersheriff is answerable. Much of the routine management of the Arab Union Sheriff Service is the responsibility of the Undersheriff, as the Sheriff is frequently busy with official meetings and events. In the event of the death or incapacitation of the Sheriff, the Undersheriff becomes Acting Sheriff of the Arab Union until the Sheriff's recovery or the appointment of a new official Sheriff by the President of the Arab Union.
