Résumé
The thesis intends to discuss all the implications of the digital revolution in the United Arab Emirates, from a legal perspective. In view of the current situation, particular emphasis is placed on the threat of cybercrime. How can it be prevented as the techniques of aggression continue to improve over the years ? On the one hand, in our thesis, I try to draw a panorama of the existing, namely the history and the particular situation of the Emirates, without forgetting the federal character of its institutional structure. It is also essential, in a more global way, to make an overview, of course always to be completed and changed, of the different aspects, positive and threatening of the digital revolution. Since the country under study is at the beginning of the implementation of legislation in this field, attention is paid to the way in which other countries, especially France and the United States, are taking up these new challenges. In an attempt to move forward in a comparative manner. It is obvious that the digital revolution is embodied differently depending on the country concerned, and also the moment it is going through. But the local dimension always refers to a global dimension in an increasingly interconnected world. Hyper-globalization, despite moments of retreat, makes legislation on such a vast scale both imperative and delicate. Upstream, a reflection is carried out on the way in which the law can and must face very complex stakes, requirements in tension, if not dilemmas for example between more security and a fully preserved freedom. In an ever-changing context. Downstream, the digital revolution does not only consist of dangers but allows undeniable progress in the direction of more democratic participation, more efficiency and coordination. In fact, the balance is nuanced and complex. The digital revolution is a guarantee of security, but it is also fraught with serious threats, such as new forms of crime, which are highly reactive. These threats affect the international scale and require a response at this level. Cyber defence, still a vague field, is becoming important, if not decisive. However, we intend to engage research in the sense of foresight. However, this is difficult because history seems to lead us towards an increasingly uncertain world. Ultimately, the digital revolution not only poses new challenges to the law, but also changes the very perspective of its elaboration and application in a complex, shifting and unpredictable context, where adaptability seems to become the ultimate criterion. Moreover, it is necessary to cultivate ambition but also humility, in making decisions and implementing regulations that are necessary but whose precise content is not self-evident but is often the lesser evil.
