La Levée Du Secret Bancaire Au Liban, Karim Daher
La Levée Du Secret Bancaire Au Liban, Karim Daher
Proche-Orient, Études juridiques
The Banking Secrecy Law, adopted in Lebanon in 1956, formally prohibited banks and their personnel from disclosing any information relating to their clientele to any public or private party. The purpose of enacting this law was to attract financial inflows to Lebanon in the 1950s and 1960s, a period that coincided with the oil boom in Gulf countries, and nationalization processes in neighboring Arab countries, especially Egypt and Syria, as well as later from wealthy Gulf oil monarchies. While this legislation ensured the protection and confidentiality of these deposits, it weakened tax citizenship, promoted a culture of corruption and impunity, …

القواعد الكلية في قانون المعاملات المدنية الاماراتي, خليل غصن
Proche-Orient, Études juridiques
The importance of the "qawaed kulliya" (Fundamental Rules) lies in the fact that they are recognized in the various laws due to the values they represent, arising from sound logic. They are called kulliya because they are the source from which legal provisions derive, and they help in understanding the causes and aims of rules allowing for deduction and analysis. The UAE being sensitive to the importance of the Fundamental Rules has dedicated a special chapter to them, titled "Certain Doctrinal Interpretative Rules", in the Civil Transactions Law promulgated by the Federal Law No. 5 of 1985.

The Public Private Partnership (Ppp) Method: Insights From The Arab Region Context In General And Dubai Market In Particular, Rita Waked
Proche-Orient, Études juridiques
The Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a form of association involving a public entity and a private person has become a global innovative trend for governments seeking to finance their infrastructure, and has gradually established itself as a driving force of the economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This article examines the PPP’s main features and the pillar of its success, at a time where it is experiencing a resurgence of interest in Arab countries, and in particular in Dubai where the adoption in 2015 of a PPP law reflects the Emirate’s consciousness of the importance of …
Public Budget Laws And Economic Performance In The Uae, Carole Ibrahim
Public Budget Laws And Economic Performance In The Uae, Carole Ibrahim
Proche-Orient, Études juridiques
This paper aims to examine the impact of the public budget laws implemented in the UAE on the country’s economic performance, by studying the relationship between government spending and the country’s economic activity during the last four decades. The results show that since 2001, government spending has strongly impacted the non-oil economic growth. These results can be explained by the implementation of the “Program and Performance-based Budgeting” method, the medium-term budget cycle, and the functional classification of the government expenditures.
50 Years Of Constitutional Judicial Review In The United Arab Emirates: Key Features, Nisrine Abiad
50 Years Of Constitutional Judicial Review In The United Arab Emirates: Key Features, Nisrine Abiad
Proche-Orient, Études juridiques
On the 50th anniversary of the enshrinement of judicial review within the UAE Constitution, this paper explores its main features. The analysis of the constitutional provisions and the jurisprudence of the Federal Supreme Court reveals that constitutional judicial review in the UAE is intrinsically rooted in federalism as it is mainly designed as a tool preserving the adjudication of powers between federal and local authorities. It is nevertheless also destined by the Constitution for a wider purpose of constitutional justice endorsing the individuals and the courts as key players in its process.

By virtue of the new law on the Election of the Members of Parliament number 44 promulgated on June 17, 2017 and for the first time in its one hundred years history, Lebanon has adopted the proportional representation electoral system with a closed list and a preferential vote according to the greatest remainders. It is not surprising to note that the adoption of a specific electoral system is never considered in general as an innocent choice. This choice is controlled by the wishes of the governing political classes which aim though a new law on elections to achieve specific goals …
