الملخص EN

This study dealt with the topic “The defendant’s guarantees in remote criminal trials in light of the UAE criminal procedures law” after the issuance of Federal Law No.

(5) of 2017 regarding the use of telecommunications technology in criminal procedures.

This law was expected to simplify litigation procedures and reduce the burden on litigants, as it requires guarantees to ensure the proper conduct of remote trials.

In this study, we examined the defendant’s guarantees during the remote trial in the first section and the guarantees after trial in the second section, because most of the international legislation and covenants have ensured fair trial guarantees.

We have reached several results, the most important of which are that the basic guarantees of the trial are achieved in light of remote trials, that they are not violated or detracted from because the remote trial is a replica of traditional trial but characterized by modern means of communication.

Besides, the principle of publicity is capable of achieving fair trial guarantees through the use of remote communication technology, because openness is achieved as in the case of traditional trials.
