UAE issues law amendments on Crimes and Penalties
The UAE government has issued a Federal Law Decree containing amendments to the Penal Code aimed at strengthening the criminal policy and developing the legislative framework. The amendments include reorganizing the punishment for retribution, making it a prison sentence of 15 to 20 years if the heirs forgo their right, and abolishing the criminalization of attempted suicide to support preventative and therapeutic measures. The decree also specifies penalties for inciting or assisting in suicide, emphasizing the protection of vulnerable populations, facilitating early intervention to provide necessary care, and ensuring legal safeguards to prevent death. These amendments aim to enhance justice and prevent crimes, while supporting human rights and reducing penalties for suicide cases not resulting in death.
