المسؤولية الجزائية للأشخاص الاعتبارية عن جريمة التمييز في التشريع الإماراتي : دراسة تحليلية

Abstract EN

This research deals with the issue of the criminal responsibility of legal persons for racial discrimination crimes in the UAE legislation.

The Emirati legislator issued Federal Law No.

2 of 2015 against discrimination and antipathy by stipulating the responsibility of the legal person for racial discrimination crimes in Article 65 of the Federal Penal Code.

The legislator’s keenness to issue special legislation to combat racism and antipathy stems from his desire to consecrate the values of tolerance among all the components of society, citizens, residents, and visitors.

There are about two hundred nationalities in UAE belonging to different cultures, religions, and ideologies, not to mention hundreds of private national and foreign legal persons that may be issued by their representatives in their name and for their account.

As a result of the social diversity in the country, some acts of racism occur.

This study sheds light on the acts of racism that are committed by legal persons and their criminalization by the UAE legislation, It seeks to clarify the reconciliation between the general provisions mentioned in the Penal Code on the responsibility of legal persons and those mentioned in the Anti-Discrimination and antipathy Law.

The latter plays a seminal role in deterrence by raising awareness about the seriousness of discrimination crimes that preceded, coincided with, and followed it.

Through this research, we came to a set of results and recommendations that we listed in its conclusion.
