Aiming to deepen participants’ legal understanding of cybercrimes, distinguishing them from traditional crimes, the General
Secretariat of the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) organised an educational workshop titled
‘Criminal Intent in Cybercrime’.
The workshop underscored the approach adopted by UAE legislators in defining criminal intent as a vital prerequisite for
prosecuting cybercrimes and imposing penalties. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on the general concept of
criminal intent and its specific applications to cybercrimes. The unique characteristics of cybercrime were explored,
alongside the substantive, procedural, and legal challenges these crimes pose.
Attendees also examined the complexities involved in detecting, proving, and attributing cybercrimes to their perpetrators. A
key focus of the discussions was the necessity of international collaboration to combat the global proliferation of cybercrime.
“Cybercrimes represent an escalating challenge in the digital age, necessitating the development and implementation of
effective strategies to achieve digital and cyber security”, said H.E. Ahmad bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General.
