Since the outbreak of COVID-19, countries have instituted multiple regulations and implemented various measures to preserve public health. One of the most important measures is quarantine, which restricts the right to freedom of movement enshrined in international and national laws (UN General Assembly, 1948). The study aims to clarify the freedom of movement concept and to consider the legality of quarantine as a restriction on this right (Talbi, 2021). It also aims to tackle the national regulations and procedures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Kuwait. The research problem is the lack of clarity regarding the national legal framework and procedures related to quarantine, and the lack of deterrent penalties related to their violation, as well as the difference and disparity among the countries under study in response to the rules of international law and the application of procedures and penalties in the face of COVID-19. The authors relied on an analytical and comparative approach of the legislative provisions in addition to a statistical database published by a trusted website. The study concluded that the legal provisions related to confronting COVID-19 are still unclear and that the penalties do not serve as deterrents.

This study dealt with compensation for victims of terrorist crimes, in UAE legislation compared to French legislation, the United Arab Emirates has issued advanced laws to combat terrorism, and it is related to three basic texts contained in Federal Decree Law No. 1 of 2004 in the matter of combating terrorist crimes and Federal Law No. 7 issued In 2014, especially since terrorist crime causes loss of life and property, and destabilizes peace and tranquility within societies. Confronting this phenomenon has become the most prominent challenge for the international community, and its study is receiving increasing attention by researchers. This study has been divided into an introductory request in which we deal with the definition of victims of terrorist crimes, and two sections deal in the first section, the basis of compensation for victims of terrorist crime through theories of the idea of supporting the state’s commitment to compensation and the scope of the state’s responsibility to compensate the victims. During the compensation for victims of terrorism in the UAE legislation, compensation for victims of terrorist crimes in the French legislation, insurance for terrorism crimes in the French legislation and insurance in the UAE legislation, the study ended with a conclusion that includes the results and recommendations.

Using the analytical method, the purpose of this paper is to emphasize some constitutional and legal principles, whose application and implementation will lead to UAE judiciary governance. Six major principles can be summarized as a result of these principles (Khalil, 2022). A few of these principles serve as a foundation for the UAE judicial governance; others serve as a guarantee for judicial governance. Further, the principles of openness of the judiciary, a confrontation between litigants, and appeals against court rulings ensure judicial governance (Alsubaie, 2022). At the end of this paper, a number of results shall be confirmed. The UAE judiciary will definitely preserve the right to litigation as a result of its governance. Additionally, all citizens and residents shall have the right to initiate legal proceedings without discrimination, provided that the following rights are satisfied: the right to legal counsel, the right to confrontation between litigants, and the right to appeal against court rulings.

This study deals with the issue of the player’s penal responsibility for acts of violence in sports; it aims at briefing the important legal issues related to this subject and clarifying the position of the UAE legislator on a player’s criminal liability for sports injuries and acts of violence in sports by researching the legal framework for sports injuries and sports accidents that occur during sports competitions. The study concluded that to be exempt from criminal liability in sports competitions, the game must be one of the games recognized by sports games laws, it must have recognized rules, and the acts of violence committed during the match must not violate the game rules. Also, the UAE has included sports insurance in certain sports activities as a club obligation, so any player registered with the relevant association is not allowed to participate in sports activities managed by the union unless this player is insured under a contract of insurance that includes the risks of death, permanent or temporary disability, sports injury, and medical expenses. The study suggests that the UAE legislature should pass a sports criminal law criminalizing the use of stimulants in sports.

Surveillance is becoming the norm in today’s life, especially with the pandemic of COVID-19. Surveillance of public crowds and activity is a controversial issue that can contradict the privacy of individuals (Federal Decree-Law No. (5) of 2012). This paper presents a comparative study of surveillance and privacy regulations and law in the UAE compared to the USA and the EU. The objective of this comparison is to highlight the amendments that have been adopted to improve laws and regulations, the need for further improvement, and the strengths and weaknesses in each of these countries. A discussion of different acts adopted in these countries and comparing them can help security experts to cooperate with legislators in order to rectify shortcomings and improve the acts adopted in their respective countries. Furthermore, we think that such a comparison can help system developers to find an easier way to accommodate the differences in security measures that they have to tackle and incorporate when they are serving customers in these countries and especially in the UAE. A legal framework has been proposed in order to define the maturity level of regulations adopted by a government in regard to surveillance and privacy laws and acts.
