The Law Respect Culture Bureau at the General Secretariat of the Office of H.H Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior (MoI) took part in the activities of a forum which was recently held by the Juveniles Awareness and Care Association in Dubai, under the theme “We Progress to Meet.” The forum took place at Al Qeyam Model School in Dubai.
First Lieutenant Jassem Mohammed Khamis, from the Law Respect Culture Bureau, underlined that the bureau’s participation is part of the MoI’s eagerness to assume its social responsibilities and participate in various events and initiatives that contribute to deepening the sense of national affiliation to the nation and promoting community cohesion. “Through this participation, we aimed to instill some legal values and concepts in children to become a daily practice and promote the pillars of good citizenship,” said First Lieutenant Khamis.
For her part, Milan Sharif, the Legal Researcher from the bureau, explained the laws and regulations governing internet use, saying that all young people must familiarize themselves with them. Moreover, she pointed out that the law is applied equally and without discrimination to all people. Additionally, Sharif discussed the legal position adopted by the Emirati legislation regarding negative behavior and the errors some students commit while using various social media. She also showcased the most important crimes and penalties set forth in the cybercrimes law.
Sharif said that the MoI works diligently to fight cybercrimes by adopting cutting-edge technologies. She listed the different forms of cybercrimes, notably identity theft, credit card information theft, fraud and cyber extortion, where offenders target their victims through SMS or social media platforms. She also highlighted the various penalties and financial fines set forth by the UAE law for such crimes.
The lecturer highlighted some of the crimes provided for in the UAE laws, such as drug crimes. She warned against approaching these destructive substances, noting that the law has criminalized their abuse and possession, as well as being present in drug hubs. Furthermore, Sharif addressed some of the criminal behavior that may be committed by students, such as aggression using melee weapons, libel or traffic offenses.
