Child Trafficking Victim Protection in the United Arab Emirates Legislation from the Perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence

Abstract

This study examines the model of protecting victims of child trafficking in the UAE from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, through research, analysis, and legal texts in UAE law related to human trafficking crimes, and through research on Sharia provisions in Islam. This study aims to examine the protection model for victims of child trafficking in the UAE legislation and Islamic jurisprudence, analyze the effects of the phenomenon of child trafficking, and evaluate the model for protecting victims of child trafficking in the UAE from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence. To achieve these objectives, the researcher applies the descriptive-analytical method. The study concludes that the crime of child trafficking is not a domestic crime in the United Arab Emirates, but rather a crime with an international and global dimension The United Arab Emirates is a catalyst for the crime of human trafficking as a result of its high degree of safety, the multiplicity of nationalities inhabiting it and suffering from poverty in their countries of origin .The spread of poverty, unemployment, the desire to get rich quickly, the weakness of moral and religious scruples, and the lack of censorship on websites are among the most important reasons for the spread of the crime of child trafficking .Despite the various intensive efforts to combat this crime, following the instructions of the Islamic Sharia, which laid down provisions and texts that meet the protection of human beings in all aspects of life from inception to death, the rate of human trafficking cases in the United Arab Emirates is constantly increasing .The most important recommendations of the study are the need for government legal authorities to make greater efforts to organize and follow up the residency and nationalities of foreigners, especially children, as they are closely related to the crime of human trafficking.
