Abstract

This dissertation investigates both the substantive and procedural criminal protections for children against pornography, focusing on the national legislations of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE legislator has implemented these protections through the Child Rights Law ("Wadeema") and the Law on Combating Rumors and Cybercrimes. In contrast, Jordan and Egypt have each taken a singular approach, with Jordan addressing the issue under the Cybercrime Law and Egypt through the Child Rights Law. The study examines the broader scope of the UAE's criminal protection measures and their application in courts, comparing them to the more focused frameworks in Jordan and Egypt. It also assesses how these protections align with international conventions and comparative legal systems, alongside a review of judicial rulings in the UAE, Egypt, and Jordan. The study concludes by highlighting various possible legislative gaps and deficiencies, offering some recommendations for reforms that lawmakers might consider to enhance child protection in this area.
