stakeholders. The book delves into a relatively new concept within local and regional

legislative contexts. It focuses on administrative penalties imposed by executive authorities

against individuals and entities violating laws and regulations in force with a view to
maintaining discipline and ensuring compliance with local legislation. Furthermore, the book

discusses the theoretical and philosophical foundations of these administrative penalties,

along with their legal implications.

The book highlights the importance of administrative penalties and their constructive impact

on society, and the ways in which the Emirati legislature addresses the issue of administrative
penalties and their legal applications. Additionally, it explores the advantages of existing

legislation, as well as the key shortcomings that impede their effective implementation.

His Excellency Ahmad bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General, asserted that this book

holds great significance as it introduces a comprehensive alternative approach to dealing with

modern penalties for violations that do not merit criminal penalties due to their limited severity
and gravity. Al Muhairi explained that the book is a valuable addition to the UAE legal and

legislative resources, enlightening readers on alternative penalties to deter arbitrary

enforcement. “This book is the result of close collaboration between the SLC and the DJI,

demonstrating our joint dedication to disseminating legal knowledge and serving public

interest,” he added.

Her Excellency Judge Dr. Ibtisam Ali Al-Badwawi, DJI Director General, said: “As a publishing

house, the DJI is committed to nurturing the legal and judicial community. Through our

‘Shared Knowledge Initiatives’, we consistently provide diversified series of publications,

studies, and academic research papers aimed at enriching the knowledge of the legal

community. This empowers stakeholders within the judicial system by equipping them with the

necessary resources to enhance their performance and expand their knowledge base.”

Al-Badawi pointed out that the launch of the ‘Administrative Penalties for Criminal Offences’

book in partnership with the SLC reflects the DJI’s commitment to nurturing legal researchers

and celebrating their academic achievements aimed at enhancing legal awareness within

society.
