The Faculty of Graduate Studies awarded the researcher Nabeel Abu Rub a Master’s Degree in Public Law in response to his thesis entitled “Cybercrimes Concept and Their Legislative Challenges in Palestine”.
The study aims to analyze the cybercrimes concept and their legislative challenges in Palestine through defining the nature of cybercrimes, examining the appropriateness of Palestinian legislations and laws and the challenges faced the Palestinian legislator to limit them, identifying mechanisms to prosecute the perpetrators by the police, prosecution and judiciary, and study their reality in Palestine. The study also aimed to contribute to raise awareness and legal culture about the dangers of cybercrimes among Palestinian society.
The study concluded that there are objective and procedural difficulties in defining the concept, detection and proving the cybercrime, and the vacuum of existing penal laws from analysis, investigation, collection, search and seizure of evidence. Cybercrime is an increasingly widespread phenomenon in Palestine in light of the reliance on traditional laws that do not meet the minimum requirements for their control and limitation. In this regard, the Law No. 16 of 2017 on cybercrime came to fill the legal gap without issuing its executive regulations, which still raises a wide debate about its clauses and its relevance to the Palestinian reality of prevention and reduction of cybercrimes and deter the perpetrators. Also, the study concluded that there is a limited institutionalization for prosecute the perpetrators of cybercrimes, the lack of qualified staff, the lack of standard procedural manuals in the police and prosecution for complaints mechanism and methods of investigation to prosecute and follow-up the perpetrators, the lack of training for criminal justice personnel on the construction of the digital information guide and how to deal with modern technical means of proving cybercrimes, and the Palestinian judiciary modernity in dealing with these crimes, and there is no national strategic plan for the prevention and reduction of cybercrimes, and the weak role of institutions in spreading awareness and legal culture about cybercrimes risks.
The committee consisted of: Dr. Anwar Ghanem as a main supervisor and Chairman, Dr. Raed Taha as an external examiner and Dr. Abdllatif Rabaya as an internal examiner.
At the end of the session, the committee approved the success of the researcher and recommended him a Master’s degree.
