12/24/24, 2:11 PM SLC Organises Workshop On 'Criminal Intent In Cybercrime'

Al Muhairi further highlighted the importance of a well-defined legal framework to determine

criminal intent in cybercrime cases. He noted:“Such a framework is essential for ensuring
accountability, facilitating effective prosecution, and preventing impunity. This enhances the

efficiency of our legal ecosystems in combating cybercrimes, which pose an escalating threat

to the security of nations, communities, and individuals in today's interconnected world.”

The workshop, led by Dr Yahia Al Adwan, Senior Legal Advisor at the Technical Office of the

SLC, brought together a distinguished group of legal and technical specialists from various

government entities. Discussions addressed a range of critical topics, including the concept
and distinctive characteristics of cybercrime. Participants also explored the evidentiary

requirements necessary to establish intent, instances where intent may be absent, and the

concept of unintentional error in cybercrime cases.
