Combating cybercrime
Dr. Khoja said the Cabinet also passed a law to combat cybercrime. It endorsed the resolution, passed by the 33rd GCC summit held in Bahrain, with regard to the unified law to combat cybercrime in GCC countries. This will be considered as a guiding law for four years and forthwith it will be renewed automatically unless any member state objects to it.
The law will be called “Riyadh Document for the unified law to combat information technology crimes of the GCC countries.”
The legislation targets those who create websites and publish information on the Internet or a computer network for the benefit of a terrorist group to enable contacts among its leaders or its members, to promote its views or funding. It also prohibits the dissemination of ideas that could affect public order or morality.
Most members of the six-nation GCC – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – have tightened their laws against cybercrime in recent years.
The Cabinet approved the standardization and gauging system, which aims at facilitating trade exchange with other countries by keeping pace with the global standardization and gauging systems.
