**Federal Draft Law to Amend Certain Provisions of Federal Law No. (8) of 2009 Concerning Medals, Decorations, and Military Insignia**

**Honorable President:**

Now, regarding the article that is at the core of the law, the esteemed advisor may proceed.

**Mr. Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

Honorable President, as explained by the doctor regarding the intervention, the council may intervene based on the government’s request, so the article has become as follows: Article (1) “The following amendments are made to certain provisions of Federal Law No. (8) of 2009 referred to above as follows:”. Firstly, it will remain, secondly as in the table. “Firstly: The text of Article (1) shall be replaced with the following text”. Of course, we will leave the definitions as they are except for the following two definitions: “Commander of the Forces: Commander of one of the main forces and the Presidential Guard Commander and their equivalents.”

**Honorable President:**

Does the council approve this wording?

(Approved)

Minutes of Session 61 – Cycle 3 – Term 61, Page 16 of 611

**Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

As for the definition of the reserve, it will remain: “Anyone who is subject to reserve service in accordance with the National and Reserve Service Law”.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council approve this article? Brother Sultan, please proceed.

**Mr. Sultan Jumaa Al Shamsi:**

I have a comment on the Commander of the Forces, Honorable President. If you could read it as follows: “Commander of the Forces: Commander of one of the main forces in the armed forces”. Why mention the Presidential Guard? It should simply be: “Commander of one of the main forces in the armed forces”, and that should suffice. Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

I believe that the presidency has agreed with the government, and there is no need to delve into this topic as the government agrees with it. Now, does the council approve the final wording?

(Approved)

Federal Draft Law on the Regulation of the Auditing Profession

**Honorable President:**

Please allow Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi, the Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee, to take his designated seat.

Dear colleagues, the law is in your possession, and the report contains the draft and its justifications, especially considering that 18 years have passed since the enactment of the previous Federal Law No. (22) of 1995. As usual, we will move to the main observations of the committee on the draft and then to the results of the committee’s work. Please proceed.

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

The Report of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee of the Federal National Council on the Draft Federal Law No. ( ) of 2014 regarding the Regulation of the Auditing Profession

**Third: The Main Observations of the Committee on the Draft:**

Although the committee recognizes the importance of the council’s esteemed approval of the draft in principle, it presents its main observations on the draft as follows:

1. The necessity of adding laws related to civil liability for damage due to their connection to the draft law, as well as the law regulating the State Audit Bureau. Article (20) stipulates that the auditor of public bodies and institutions is similar in this respect to the jurisdiction of the State Audit Bureau, which audits the accounts of public bodies and institutions. Hence, it is necessary to refer to it.

**The committee’s report on the entire draft law is attached as Appendix No. (2) to the minutes.**

Session Minutes 17 – Round 3 – Chapter 15, Page 59 of 323

2. Despite the fact that training and continuous education for the profession are among the main reasons for updating the draft law due to its effective role in upgrading and developing the profession, in addition to the regional and global trend in legislations that emphasized the importance of continuous education as the basis for the auditing profession, the legislator has overlooked adding the ministry’s competence in preparing mechanisms for training, education, and continuous qualification for the profession.

3. The draft included a chapter with Articles 38 and 39 titled Administrative Fines without providing a system for reconciliation, which is necessary according to the constitution. The administration reconciles the fine and does not impose it because the so-called administrative fine is intended to deter and is therefore a criminal penalty that only the courts can impose, not the administration. Hence, its formulation without reconciliation contradicts Article 28 of the constitution, which stipulates that every accused person is innocent until proven guilty by the prosecution and the criminal court, and not every accused person is guilty until they prove their innocence. It also contradicts the formulation of Article 21 of the constitution, which protects property. If the fine is considered administrative, it can be executed against the debtor’s funds without waiting for the judicial ruling in the lawsuit filed against it because every administrative decision is presumed to be sound and based on valid reasons and enforceable until it is canceled by the courts.

Based on all the above, the committee has proposed amendments to the articles of the draft to avoid the reasons for the main observations, and other legal drafting observations, including:

1. Amending the definition of the rules of conduct and ethics of the profession to become (a set of principles that clarify the ethical values and ideal behavioral traits of the auditor), to shorten the phrase according to legislative drafting rules.

2. Adding a clause for those holding a master’s degree in accounting to register an auditor in the auditors’ register, whereby practical experience subsequent to obtaining the qualification is sufficient for two years instead of three years as prescribed for those holding a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

3. Allowing the Cabinet to increase the national participation percentage in professional practice companies in the state to more than the prescribed percentage of 25% provided in the draft, considering what circumstances may allow in the future to increase national participation to achieve the purposes of the draft.

4. In Article 5, clause 2 was merged into clause 1, and the contradiction in the article was removed, as working in a branch of a foreign auditing firm registered in the auditors’ register is not a binding condition for registration but one of three cases, including the company and working for a registered national, and it is sufficient to have one of them for registration.

5. Introducing a clause in Article (8) regarding the ministry’s competences consistent with the objectives of the law concerning the advancement and development of the profession through continuous training and education, so the clause becomes (preparing mechanisms for continuous training, education, and qualification for the profession), in addition to stipulating that the ministry shall carry out its prescribed tasks under the draft through a specialized department.

6. Reducing the ministry’s notification period for the registration applicant to five working days instead of ten working days to speed up and facilitate procedures, so the article becomes (The ministry notifies the registration applicant of its decision within five working days from the date of issuance by registered letter to the address specified in the application submitted to the ministry or by direct delivery or one of the modern means of communication, and the notification shall include in the event of rejection the reasons for the rejection).

7. Amending the prohibition on the auditor to extend the prohibition, in addition to companies, to all clients from public and private bodies and institutions.

8. Obliging the auditor to exercise the care of a diligent person in performing their work, as they are compensated for it, which requires more care.

9. Introducing a clause allowing the disciplinary board to temporarily suspend the auditor from practicing the profession until the end of their trial, due to the importance of enabling the disciplinary board with this authority in cases it deems necessary.

10. Adding a reconciliation system for administrative fines considering the previously explained constitutional considerations, so the wording of Article 38 was changed so that the penalties mentioned therein are imposed by the courts as prescribed constitutionally, and the wording of Article 39 was changed to allow the initiation of the criminal case only upon request from the minister or his delegate, provided that the minister or his delegate issues regulations and procedures for reconciliation.

11. Deleting the requirement to obtain judicial authority’s permission to provide the auditor with the information requested by the Minister of Economy, as the minister requests information in his capacity, not personally, and is politically responsible for his work. Moreover, the article restricted the matter to cases of necessity and necessity, consistent with the new Companies Law draft, which gives the administrative authority the original right to inspect under Articles 333 and 336.

12. Amending the article on issuing the executive regulations to specify a time for issuing the executive regulations, so the article becomes (The Cabinet – upon the presentation of the minister – issues the executive regulations of this law within six months from the date of its implementation), and the same period is mandated for the minister to issue the rules of conduct and ethics of the profession in the following article.

By presenting its report and the proposed amendments to the articles, the committee hopes it has exercised the necessary diligence in executing the council’s mandate to study this draft and calls on the council to approve its proposed amendments to the draft articles.

**Mr. Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

Honorable President, regarding the Law on Regulating Labor Relations, the truth is there is a strong link between it and the draft before us, as well as the Law of Evidence in Civil Transactions, there is no problem in adding it. However, the problem remains in adding the Human Resources Law because we are in the context of private relations, not functional relations. Therefore, I propose adding the first two proposed laws and not adding the third one. Thank you.

**Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

Honorable President, the idea is that an auditor’s job is very important and serious, and they must be extremely trustworthy. Therefore, the law was strict with them and stated that even if their honor and integrity were restored, if they committed a crime involving dishonor and breach of trust, this restoration would not be considered. This applies to criminal cases if they committed a felony or misdemeanor. However, clause five stipulates:

**Session Minutes 17 – Round 3 – Chapter 15, Page 73 of 323**

“Not to have been disciplinary convicted…” Restoration of honor in the UAE relates to criminal offenses, felonies, and misdemeanors involving dishonor and breach of trust, and has no relation to disciplinary matters. Therefore, you cannot say, “even if their honor was restored,” because there is no system of restoring honor in disciplinary matters. Therefore, it is not possible to respond to the proposal. Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

The matter is clear, dear colleagues. Does the council agree with clause five as amended by the committee?

(Approval)

**Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

Honorable President, the original text in the draft law had a clear error because it made working in a foreign auditing firm a binding condition, and therefore, you could not be a partner to a citizen or work for a citizen. We noticed this point and deleted clause (2) and merged it with clause (1), so it became that a foreign person can work or be registered, provided they are a partner with a registered citizen auditor or, if not a partner, will work for a citizen’s auditing office. It cannot be a private office for a foreigner. The third case is working, which can be stated clearly as working for an office.

**Dr. Hesham Mohammed Fawzi: (Legal Advisor to the Council)**

Honorable President, there is no trade union organization in the UAE to gather professionals in a union, collect subscriptions from them, impose fines for professional violations, collect these fines, and impose supplementary pensions in addition to the main pension. The philosophy of trade

unions in European countries is fundamentally different. The law here makes the minister the profession’s reference point, even if there is a higher committee. Therefore, I see that the committee’s proposal, where the minister prepares a mechanism for continuous education and professional qualification, has become more precise than the draft text. The draft text in clause (6) says:

“Preparing mechanisms and programs for the development and updating of the profession’s rules of conduct and ethics and follow-up to their implementation.”

However, the committee’s proposal becomes clearer:

“Preparing mechanisms for continuous education and professional qualification in the profession.”

Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Do you agree with the amendment?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, Article (18), clause (3), regarding the ban on a practicing auditor, we requested to include all public and private institutions to broaden the ban, and the committee requests to delete this clause. Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to delete clause (3) of Article (18) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, regarding the same article, clause (1), we requested to increase the percentage from 25% to a higher percentage and left it open so that the minister can determine the appropriate percentage. The clause states that the Cabinet may increase the national participation percentage in professional practice companies in the state to more than the prescribed percentage of 25% provided in the draft. Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to amend clause (1) of Article (18) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, regarding Article (21), we requested the insertion of a clause allowing the disciplinary board to temporarily suspend the auditor from practicing the profession until the end of their trial, and we drafted a new clause for this purpose. The article was amended to include:

“The disciplinary board may temporarily suspend the auditor from practicing the profession until the end of their trial.”

Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to amend Article (21) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, regarding Article (38), we requested the introduction of a reconciliation system for administrative fines to align with constitutional considerations, and we drafted the article to reflect that:

“The penalties mentioned therein are imposed by the courts as prescribed constitutionally.”

Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to amend Article (38) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, regarding Article (39), we requested to allow the initiation of the criminal case only upon request from the minister or his delegate, and we drafted the article to reflect that:

“The minister or his delegate issues regulations and procedures for reconciliation.”

Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to amend Article (39) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, regarding Article (52), we requested amending the article on issuing the executive regulations to specify a time for issuing them. The article was amended to state:

“The Cabinet – upon the presentation of the minister – issues the executive regulations of this law within six months from the date of its implementation.”

Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

Does the council agree to amend Article (52) as per the committee’s request?

(Approval)

**Mr. Ali Isa Al-Nuaimi: (Rapporteur of the Financial, Economic, and Industrial Affairs Committee)**

Dear President, this concludes the committee’s proposed amendments to the draft articles. Thank you.

**Honorable President:**

The matter is clear, dear colleagues. If there are no further comments, we will move to the voting on the draft law as amended by the committee. Does the council agree to approve the draft law as amended?

(Approval)

**Honorable President:**

The draft law on the regulation of the auditing profession is approved as amended. Thank you.

This completes the review and approval of the Federal Draft Law on the Regulation of the Auditing Profession by the council, incorporating the committee’s proposed amendments and considerations.

]]> The Egyptian government recently implemented a new labor law, This law brings significant changes to the employment landscape and aims to improve workers’ rights, enhance job security, and promote fair working conditions for all employees in the country.

The new labor law has been welcomed by many workers and labor rights activists, who hope it will bring about positive changes in the workplace. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the key provisions of the Egyptian labor law and explore how it will impact both employers and employees.

1. Introduction to the New Egyptian Labor Law

The recently implemented Egyptian Labor Law of 2021 is a new regulatory framework that aims to ensure fair and just labor practices in Egypt. The law is a significant update to the previous Labor Law of 2003 and has been brought in line with the country’s 2014 constitution. The law focuses on worker protection, job security, and reducing discrimination in the workplace.

It also mandates certain benefits for private sector workers, such as extended unpaid leave for new mothers and a reduction in daily working hours. Private sector establishments are now required to provide first aid provisions for their workers.

The law includes strict consequences for any breach of regulations to ensure that labor rights are respected and upheld. The new Egyptian Labor Law is expected to improve the investment climate in Egypt by signaling a commitment to sustainable and equitable business practices.

2. Aims and Objectives of the New Labor Law

The new Egyptian Labor Law has been introduced to regulate the relationship between employers and workers. Its aim is to build balanced work relationships between the two sides of the production process, ensuring continuity of work and a new era of decent work for employees.

The law includes rules that can be used to settle constructive dialogue aimed at reaching an agreement settlement to achieve the common interests of the parties. It also provides protection against discrimination and breaches of regulations, such as extended unpaid leave for new mothers and a reduction in daily working hours.

In addition, private sector establishments are required to provide mandatory first aid provision, and 18 million private sector workers can expect benefits under the new law. For workers, the law offers job security and protection, while for employers, it encourages compliance with Egyptian labor law.

However, violation of the new rules may result in serious consequences, demonstrating the country’s commitment to enforcing labor rights. Overall, the new Labor Law aims to promote a fair and equitable work environment that benefits both employers and employees, ultimately contributing to the growth and prosperity of the Egyptian economy.

3. Protection Against Discrimination and Breach of Regulations

The new Egyptian Labor Law is designed to protect employees against any form of discrimination on the basis of gender, language, religion, or any other personal belief. This ensures that every employee is given fair treatment regardless of their background.

Moreover, the law provides mandatory sick leave for every employee in industrial establishments after three years of service for up to one month with full pay. It also requires all private sector establishments to provide mandatory first aid provision to their workers.

The law protects the wages of workers to ensure that no part can be deducted from the pay except by the approval of the law, and the wages are designed to enable the worker and their family to live a dignified life. These measures contribute to a safer and healthier work environment for employees, while also promoting job security and fair working conditions in Egypt. Any violation of these regulations can result in strict consequences to ensure that every employer abides by the law.

4. Extended Unpaid Leave for New Mothers

The new Egyptian Labor Law has taken a significant stride towards the empowerment of women in the workforce. One of its provisions is extended unpaid leave for new mothers, allowing them to take up to two years off to focus on raising their children.

This policy applies to women employed in establishments with more than 50 workers, providing them with an opportunity to balance their professional responsibilities with their personal lives.

This progressive reform not only benefits mothers but also ensures a better quality of life for their children. Such a move promotes gender equality in the workplace, boosts personal well-being, and enhances the economy. The introduction of this policy highlights the commitment of the Egyptian government towards a more equitable and inclusive society.

5. Reduction in Daily Working Hours

The new Egyptian Labor Law brings good news for both workers and employers. Among its significant provisions is the reduction of daily working hours, not exceeding eight hours a day. This move aims to create a safe working environment for workers, promote their well-being, and preserve their rights. This reduction in work requirements is in line with the Law’s objective of protecting workers and granting them better job security.

The reduction also has the potential to increase productivity, as studies show that shorter working hours can lead to improved mental health, more focused work, and better job satisfaction. Employers will have to ensure that their workers’ hours are not beyond eight hours a day and that there are adequate breaks in between. By providing a healthy work environment and shorter working hours, the New Labor Law promotes both worker protection and the Egyptian investment climate.

6. Mandatory First Aid Provision in Private Sector Establishments

The new Egyptian Labor Law has brought some significant changes to the private sector, and one of them is the mandatory provision of first aid in workplaces. Article 212 and Article 214 of the Labor Law clearly state that every private sector establishment must equip their premises with necessary first aid facilities.

This is a crucial measure to ensure the health and safety of workers, and it will go a long way in preventing accidents and mishaps in the workplace. This provision is a welcome addition as it emphasizes the importance of worker protection and shows the government’s commitment to ensuring a safe work environment. Overall, the new Labor Law promises to benefit around 18 million private sector workers in Egypt and will contribute significantly to the development of the country’s economy.

7. Benefits for 18 Million Private Sector Workers

As mentioned earlier, the new Egyptian labor law provides significant benefits for over 30 million workers in the private sector. One of the most notable benefits is the increased protection and rights for 18 million private sector workers. The new law works to achieve job security for workers by setting clear controls for terminating contracts. This is especially important for young people who are just starting out in their careers.

Additionally, the law provides for extended unpaid leave for new mothers, reducing daily working hours, and mandatory first aid provision in private sector establishments. These benefits not only protect workers but also promote a healthier and more productive work environment. Overall, the new labor law is a step in the right direction for Egypt towards achieving a fair and balanced system that takes into account the interests of both workers and employers.

8. Worker Protection and Job Security

The new Egyptian Labor Law aims to provide comprehensive protection for workers and ensure their job security. In addition to reducing daily working hours to a maximum of 8 hours per day, the law also mandates the provision of first aid in private sector establishments to ensure the safety and well-being of employees. The law protects against discrimination and other breaches of regulations, with extended unpaid leave for new mothers to support their work-life balance.

These protections benefit 18 million private sector workers and provide a stable and secure work environment. Employers who violate labor laws will face consequences, which will further incentivize adherence to the new regulations. The implementation of these protections is expected to improve the investment climate in Egypt, as investors will be more confident in the stability and security of the labor market.

9. Consequences for Violation of Labor Law

The consequences for violating the new Egyptian Labor Law are significant. Employers found to be in breach of the regulations could face hefty fines, litigation costs, and even imprisonment. To protect the rights of workers, the government has implemented a range of penalties for non-compliance, including the revocation of business licenses and the suspension of employment contracts.

The new law aims to create a safer and more secure working environment for all employees, and it is essential that employers take their responsibilities seriously. By complying with the regulations, businesses can build stronger relationships with their workers, thereby enhancing productivity and promoting sustainable growth.

10. Implications for Investment Climate in Egypt

The new Egyptian Labor Law has significant implications for the investment climate in Egypt. The law’s provisions for protection against discrimination and breach of regulations, extended unpaid leave for new mothers, and reduction in daily working hours provide a more favorable business environment that can attract both local and foreign investors. Additionally, the mandatory first-aid provision in private sector establishments and worker protection and job security provisions can enhance the safety and well-being of employees, thereby improving productivity and reducing risk for investors.

Overall, the new labor law contributes to the ongoing economic reform period in Egypt that aims to encourage new investments and create a business-friendly environment. This can support the government’s efforts to enhance economic growth, create jobs, and diversify the economy.

This comprehensive guide seeks to provide modern marketing methods that law firms can utilize to enhance their online presence, attract more clients, and ultimately, be considered the best law firm in Egypt, or any other region for that matter.

Whether you’re a sole practitioner or part of a large firm, the principles of e-marketing remain the same. The key is understanding how to effectively utilize these digital tools to your advantage. So, what exactly will this guide cover? Let’s find out:

  • The importance of a robust online presence
  • Optimizing your website for search engines (SEO)
  • Social media marketing strategies for law firms
  • Email marketing and newsletters
  • Content marketing and blogging
  • Online advertisements (PPC and display ads)
  • Utilizing online directories and reviews

So, are you ready to transform your firm’s online marketing strategy and reach new heights of success? Let’s dive in and explore how e-marketing can revolutionize your law firm’s growth and prominence in the digital world.

Digitally Enhancing Your Law Firm’s Presence

Building an online presence is no longer a luxury but a necessity for modern law firms. Whether you’re operating in Egypt or serving clients globally, the power of digital marketing cannot be underestimated. But how can you effectively leverage this tool to build your brand and attract more clients? Here are some methods to consider:

Website Development

Your firm’s website serves as the cornerstone of your online presence. It’s the first stop for potential clients and should, therefore, be carefully crafted to provide a positive user experience. So, how do you create an effective website?

  1. Design: It should be professional, clean, and easy to navigate. A cluttered or confusing website can deter potential clients.
  2. Content: The website should contain detailed information about your services, your attorneys, and your successes. Use clear and concise language to convey your message.
  3. SEO: Optimizing your website for search engines is crucial to increase its visibility. For example, using keywords like ‘best law firm in Egypt’ can help your website rank higher in search results.

Website Optimization

The first step in digital marketing is ensuring your law firm’s website is optimized for search engines. This process, known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO), enhances your website’s visibility in search engine results. When someone searches for “best law firm in Egypt” or similar keywords, a well-optimized website will rank higher, increasing the likelihood of attracting potential clients.

Social Media Marketing

With billions of active users, social media platforms offer a fertile ground for law firms to reach out to potential clients. Crafting engaging content, using powerful visuals, and investing in paid advertising can significantly increase your firm’s visibility. However, it’s also important to remember that different platforms attract different audiences, so your marketing strategy should be tailored accordingly.

Email Marketing

Email might seem old-fashioned in the age of social media, but it remains one of the most effective digital marketing tools. It allows you to maintain direct communications with clients, share updates, and establish yourself as an authority in your field. To leverage this tool effectively, you must ensure your emails are well-crafted, engaging, and tailored to your client’s interests.

Content Marketing

Content marketing is another powerful tool for law firms. This involves creating and sharing valuable content (such as blog posts, videos, and infographics) that can attract, engage, and convert potential clients. Remember, however, that the key to effective content marketing is consistency and relevance. You must regularly share content that is relevant to your audience and reflects your firm’s expertise.

Online Advertising

Lastly, online advertising can significantly boost your firm’s online visibility. Platforms like Google Ads offer targeted advertising options that can help you reach potential clients who are actively searching for legal services. However, keep in mind that online advertising requires a significant investment, so it’s important to plan your budget carefully.

So, are you ready to leverage these methods and make your mark in the digital world? Remember, the key to successful digital marketing is a well-planned strategy and consistent execution. So, start planning today and watch your law firm grow!

]]> Hate crimes have been a prominent issue throughout history, and they continue to exist today. These crimes are motivated by prejudice or hatred towards a particular group of people, based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that sets them apart. In Egypt, hate crimes have been a growing concern, and the government has taken several steps to address them. But how does the law in Egypt view hate crimes? In this blog post, we’ll explore the nature of hate crimes and delve into how Egyptian law looks at them.

1. Hate Crime Defined: The Importance of Motive in Criminal Justice

Hate crimes are criminal offenses that are motivated by bias against a group based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Unlike ordinary crimes, motive is a critical element in hate crimes, and it must be considered by the criminal justice system. Hate crimes not only harm the victim, but they also undermine a sense of security and peace within the targeted group. Egyptian law recognizes the damaging nature of hate crimes and aims to hold perpetrators accountable regardless of where the crime was committed. The importance of motive in criminal justice means that hate crimes must be addressed with a different legal approach than other crimes, and governments must take proactive steps to prevent and combat all forms of hate crimes.

2. Egyptian Law and its Application to Crimes Committed Abroad

Egypt has a clear legal framework that outlines the consequences for citizens who commit crimes abroad. According to the country’s constitution, Egyptians are subject to punishment under the law in force when the crime was committed, regardless of its location. This law is designed to ensure that citizens do not evade punishment by committing offenses internationally., Egypt is committed to promoting a stable society free of bias and hate crimes. Its legal approach supports the country’s mission to provide a safe and stable environment for all citizens, no matter where they are in the world. Understanding the application of Egyptian law to crimes committed abroad is crucial in maintaining the rule of law and promoting equality and fairness for all.


3. Analyzing Hate Speech in Egyptian Talk Shows

One of the major root causes of hate speech in Egyptian talk shows is social illiteracy, as concluded by the data analysis in this study. In this section, we delve deeper into the issue of hate speech in Egyptian talk shows and analyze the type of hate speech being discussed. The study utilizes the quantitative approach of content analysis to examine hate speech in Egyptian Arabic language newspapers. However, the lack of legislation defining and prohibiting hate speech in Egypt remains a gray area in Egyptian law, with no measures in place to combat it effectively. As discussed in the previous section, the importance of denouncing hate crimes publicly cannot be overstated in combating this phenomenon. In analyzing hate speech in Egyptian talk shows, it becomes evident that understanding the nature of hate crimes and the role of criminal law and identity politics in addressing these issues is crucial. Although incitement to hate speech is a crime punishable by law according to Article 53 of the Constitution, Egyptian law needs to tackle this issue comprehensively and with a more rigorous approach.

4. Government Efforts to Combat Hate Crimes: Police Training and Courses

The Egyptian government has taken steps to combat hate crimes, including providing training for law enforcement officers. Police training and courses are essential in ensuring that police officers understand how to engage with affected communities and investigate hate crimes. This is part of a broader effort by the government to combat hate speech and violence. However, it is essential to note that training alone is not enough. There also needs to be a commitment to denouncing hate crimes publicly and holding perpetrators accountable. By working together, the government, law enforcement, and communities can create a safer and more tolerant society in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.

5. The Importance of Denouncing Hate Crimes Publicly

In order to combat hate crimes effectively, it is crucial that society as a whole denounces them publicly. This sends a powerful message that such actions will not be tolerated and helps to raise awareness about the gravity of hate crimes. Egyptian law enforcement and government officials must take the lead in publicly denouncing any and all hate crimes that occur in the country. By doing so, they not only show solidarity with the victims but also demonstrate their commitment to upholding the principles of justice and equality for all. It is important for all members of society to join in this effort by reporting any hate crimes they witness, and by condemning such actions publicly whenever and wherever they occur. Only by working together can we hope to overcome the scourge of hate crimes and build a better, more inclusive society for all.

6. Understanding the Nature of Hate Crimes: Criminal Law and Identity Politics

Section 6 of the blog delves into understanding the nature of hate crimes and their relationship with criminal law and identity politics. Hate crime is a complex issue that requires a nuanced understanding of the political, social, and cultural contexts in which it arises. , hate crime is not just about individual acts of violence, but also about identity politics and the larger structural inequalities and power dynamics that shape society. Therefore, it is important for policymakers, law enforcement, and society at large to address the root causes of hate crime and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. By understanding the nature of hate crimes and their relationship to criminal law and identity politics, we can take more effective and meaningful action to combat this growing problem.

In this blog post, we will dive into the details of the “Egyptian Labor Law for Government Employees” and discuss how it will impact both employers and employees in Egypt. We will also explore the various provisions of this law and examine its potential benefits for the workforce in Egypt. So, let’s get started!

1. Overview of the New Egyptian Labor Law for the Government Sector

The New Egyptian Labor Law introduces significant changes in the government sector. The law aims to promote social justice and benefits for both workers and employers while balancing their duties and responsibilities. Under the new law, annual leave entitlements for private sector employees have been regulated under Articles 97 to 106, and extended unpaid leave for new mothers has been introduced.


The law also offers protection for workers against unjust termination and establishes labor courts to settle disputes. The maximum working hours and regulations for private sector workers have been addressed, along with the gains for 30 million private sector workers, including paternity leave. These changes reflect the Egyptian government’s efforts to align the Labor Law with the country’s 2014 constitution and promote a fair and equitable work environment.

2. Annual Leave Entitlements for Private Sector Employees

Under the new Egyptian Labor Law for the government sector, private-sector employees are also entitled to certain annual leave benefits. According to the law, workers are granted 21 paid leave days per year, or a total of 30 days including weekends, holidays, and other leave types. Additionally, after completing their first year with an institution, employees are eligible for 15 days of leave. The draft labor law also provides for paid study leave on exam days and leaves on holidays and events.


These provisions are a great gain for the 30 million workers in Egypt’s private sector, ensuring that they receive fair treatment and benefits. It is important for employers and employees alike to be aware of these entitlements and to comply with the law to ensure that workers’ rights are being respected.

Working hand in hand, the government, civil society, and private sector can bring forth a sustainable future, promoting fairness and protection for all workers.

4. Regulation of Annual Leaves under Articles 97 to 106

In the new Egyptian Labor Law for the Government Sector, the regulation of annual leaves is established under Articles 97 to 106. These articles outline the entitlements of workers to paid annual leave and the conditions for taking such leave. It is worth noting that the length of the leave varies according to the duration of the worker’s service, with those who have worked for longer periods being entitled to longer leave periods. Furthermore, the law mandates that annual leave must be taken within a specified time frame, failing which the worker shall lose this entitlement.


Employers shall also maintain a record of the annual leave entitlements, which must be made available to workers on request. These regulations reflect the government’s commitment to uphold social justice and ensure fair treatment of all workers, while also balancing the needs of both employers and employees.

5. Extended Unpaid Leave for New Mothers

The new Egyptian Labor Law for the government sector has introduced extended unpaid leave for new mothers. This provision is aimed at supporting and promoting the importance of motherhood and child care. Under the law, new mothers can now take up to six months of unpaid leave after giving birth, without the risk of losing their jobs.


This is a significant step towards promoting gender equality in the workplace and supports women’s participation and contribution to the labor market. It also sends a positive message to businesses that prioritize their employees’ well-being and welfare. This new provision is just one of the many features of the new labor law that promotes social justice and benefits for both workers and employers.

6. Protection for Workers against Unjust Termination

The new Egyptian Labor Law for the government sector aims to protect workers against unjust termination by setting several controls for the termination of individual work relationships. This aspect of the law is especially important as it prioritizes the job stability and security of employees.

Employers must adhere to these regulations to ensure that their employees’ rights are protected. The new draft labor law is a step towards social justice for workers in Egypt and ensures that their rights are protected against arbitrary termination by their employers. Overall, the new law is a significant win for 30 million private sector workers in Egypt.

In addition, labor courts will be established to provide a fair and just forum for resolving disputes. Overall, this new labor law reflects the changing dynamics of Egypt’s workforce, which is approximately 30 million employees, and seeks to provide social justice and benefits for both workers and employers.

8. Establishment of Labor Courts

The new Egyptian Labor Law for the Government Sector establishes Labor Courts, adding to the benefits for workers and employers. This new establishment ensures that disputes related to employment and labor rights are handled more efficiently and effectively by specialized courts. This will allow for a fair resolution process, protecting both the employer and the employee.

The scope and coverage of the new draft Labor Law also extend to the private sector, benefiting over 30 million workers with new gains, including paternity leave. The overall changes to the Labor Law aim to promote social justice and benefits for all workers in Egypt.
