Definition
Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2023 defines 'Hate Speech' as any statement or action that might incite discord, strife, or discrimination between individuals or groups. This includes expressions through various means such as speaking, writing, drawing, photographing, singing, acting, or gesturing, and extends to online platforms and telecommunication networks. The law criminalizes such acts, reflecting the UAE's zero-tolerance policy towards incitement of hatred and division within its diverse society.
