Cyber Laws of the United Arab Emirates Irfan Ali Thanvi

This book consists of an overview of the existing cyber laws in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Albeit, we have included a brief explanation of each law by giving relevant examples; sensational cases of cybercrimes along with the illustration of how the existence of cyber laws or their lack affected the prosecution of the individuals in question is also mentioned in this section. On occasions of cases where prosecution was difficult, a preview is provided of how the scenario would have been had there been proper laws put in to deal with such cases. In continuation of that is a comparative study of these laws and the laws present in technologically well developed nations such as the USA, UK, and other nations. There is a special focus particularly on England since it is one of the first countries to implement cyber laws in response to cybercrimes. Finally, suggestive steps have been included which can considerably improve the control of cyber-crimes, especially in fast-developing regions like the UAE. The country has long been rather passive when it comes to international cooperation in security. The main driving force of the research is the constantly growing importance of cyber security all around the world, and especially in the UAE.
