Abstract

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), a confederation of seven emirates which comprise Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, and Ras al-Khaimah, represents a distinct cultural mix of traditional Islamic principles and rigorous modern economic activity (Holst, 2023). Founded in 1971, the UAE rose from a vast collection of small, unindustrialized sheikhdoms to the place where it houses global business headquarters and receives cultural accolades due to its oil wealth and visionary leadership.
The paper will uncover the structure of the UAE's criminal justice system and evaluate its effectiveness in terms of human rights. The author will also explore the human rights aspect of this legal framework (Holst, 2023). The contention offered here manifests a state's resolution in guaranteeing safety and stability and a board of unseen opportunities in laws and norms of human rights and international law.

[...] Conclusion Thus, the criminal justice system of the UAE has shown to be a somewhat complex and closed kind of system with strict rules providing for security and order, but it is facing problems with human rights and fair judicial processes. The system showed its strength in law enforcement by its effectiveness and speed. However, it was under international scrutiny and calls for improvements, especially regarding fairness and human rights protection. The UAE is on a precipice in the turmoil of international criminal justice, where it can use its vantage point to elevate its legal practices closer to international standards, balancing such strict security measures with the universal values of justice and human rights.
