The Faculty of Graduate Studies awarded the researcher Abd Alellah Hasan a Master’s Degree in Criminal Law in response to his thesis entitled “Guarantees of the Right to Privacy in the Procedural Stages of Palestinian Criminal Law”.

This thesis deals with the issue of guarantees of the right to privacy in the procedural stages of the Palestinian criminal law and compares it with other criminal legislation, such as Egyptian and Jordanian. The Code of Criminal Procedure is one of the most important laws enacted by the state, because it infringes the right to privacy and personal freedom. The study clearly highlights the protection of the right to privacy, personal freedoms and the maintenance of human rights, which necessarily necessitates a balance between individual freedom and public interest.

This thesis deals with the right to privacy as one of the fundamental human rights. The fact that privacy is one of the basic constitutional rights inherent in a natural person is the basis for building a healthy society. Arab societies are keen to guarantee this right and regard it as a separate right.

In the second and last chapter of this thesis, the researcher devoted himself to discussing the protection of the right to privacy during the preliminary investigation stage in his first topic. He addressed the statement of the intention to stop by defining it and talking about the guarantees of the right to privacy during the period of suspension and distinguishing it from similar terms in section 1, And then talk about the concept of arrest and guarantees of privacy at this stage in the second section; then go to the researcher's second demand, speaking about the concept of arrest in the first section and guarantees of personal freedom in the arrest phase in the second section.
