University of Bahrain Journals
The Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research was established by a decree from the Board of Trustees of the University of Bahrain to encourage scientific research and undertake contractual researches and studies for both public and private sectors in all fields. And with what the Kingdom of Bahrain is witnessing with respect to a serious desire to leverage the level of higher education and graduate studies in order to achieve its economic vision, it became mandatory for the University of Bahrain to focus on graduate studies to keep pace with those long-term aspirations and ambitious development visions. As such, and for the sake of the university to introduce a vision towards distinguished publication for the scientific production, the university has secured all the financial and moral possibilities to publish scientific production (whether authored or translated), in order to become a strong source for knowledge production and dissemination.
Each journal maintains its own specific policy, which can be found on the respective journal's webpage.

Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Prompt Justice and Support the National Economy from a Legal Perspective(2024-04-01) Kotb, Mohamed Ali; Professor of Criminal Law and Police Sciences, Head of the Law Department at the Royal Academy of Police, Kingdom of Bahrain; BahrainNo doubt that legislation meets human needs in pursuit of the best, whether through the enactment of new laws or the amendment of existing ones. The Economic Vision of the Kingdom of Bahrain 2030 was born from the womb of the reform vision of His Majesty the Great – may God protect and preserve him – and it has rightfully resulted in a comprehensive development process across all fields, the fruits of which continue to appear from time to time, by the grace of its Lord. The amendment of the Criminal Procedures Law promulgated by Decree-Law No. 46 of 2002, through Law No. 7 of 2020, constitutes an effective tool in achieving that economic vision. It does so by strengthening the principles and foundations of successful justice in criminal trials and by extending legal protection to the assets of the private sector—the active partner in supporting the national economy. Prompt justice indirectly contributes to supporting the national economy, and this was indeed the intention of the legislator through the aforementioned amendment. The legislator sought to facilitate litigation procedures and to reduce the time, effort, and cost involved at all stages of criminal proceedings—both for litigants and for the state. This began with the introduction of electronic notification of litigants, as Bahrain moves toward digitizing its judiciary, and extended through the stages of preliminary and final investigation, all the way to the enforcement of sentences. The amendment introduced a number of procedures aligned with this direction and consistent with the objectives of the Economic Vision. The legislator expanded the use of the criminal order, making it mandatory for the Public Prosecution to issue such orders in cases of violations based on evidence reports, without conducting an investigation or hearing a defines. This also applies, under certain conditions, to some misdemeanours, with the competent court empowered to issue similar orders. Such measures help reduce the number of cases presented before the courts and prevent their accumulation. In this context, urgent trials in misdemeanours based on the desire of the accused, in the event of a confession to the crime, have become a real presence — not to mention the conduct of remote trials, with the realization of all guarantees for a fair trial. It is undoubtedly an effective way to reduce expenses, as it does not require any physical or material transfer of the litigants or the court panel. Moreover, the interrogation of the accused can now be conducted remotely, as well as the questioning of witnesses, after this matter was previously limited to witnesses only before the amendment. This achieves the goals of prompt justice in the least time and with the least effort and financial cost, as criminal trials that once took a long time have now become litigation proceedings of short duration after these amendments, in addition to what was mentioned in the research multipliers in general and in detail, which was difficult to refer to in this summary.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , The impact of the A comprehensive economic vision for Bahrain 2030 on legislation that attracts Foreign Ddirect Investment (Comparative Legal Study)(2024-04-01) Al-Shraideh, Mohammed Obaid; Associate Professor of Private Law Royal Police Academy; BahrainBased on the keenness of the political leadership in the Kingdom of Bahrain to encourage investment and its belief in the importance of foreign investment in the economic development processes, came Bahrain's economic vision 2030 to embody this keenness through its belief that it is not enough to attract investments because of the Kingdom's strategic geographical location in the heart of the Arabian Gulf, but that it must be accompanied by a safe and appropriate investment environment, in which the necessary guarantees and Integrated strategies are available to attract foreign investment. This can only be done through an integrated legislative system, which has a historical dimension, as the Bahraini legislator has been keen to address the issue of regulating foreign investment for many years, and was always keen to develop and amend legal regulation in response to all temporal and spatial requirements, for enhancing the position of the Kingdom of Bahrain as a country attracting investment. Based on the above, this research attempts to analyze the impact of the Kingdom of Bahrain's economic vision 2030 on legislations that attract foreign direct investment, and how it has evolved from commercial legislation that codifies foreign practice of business within certain controls, to the stage of allowing foreign freehold.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Legal and judicial protection for social justice considerations (A comparative study)(2024-04-01) Ali, Nadheer Thabet Muhammad; Assistant Professor- Imam A,Adhum University College Baghdad; IraqAcknowledging the right to social justice in constitutions is an important and essential guarantee for individuals, as this entails a transition from being a political goal to a legal status approved by the legislature and providing protection for it. The constitutional protection of the right to social justice represents the legal basis for its judicial empowerment in the face of public bodies in the state. , which makes that right covered by the protection of the judiciary, and if this right is clearly embodied in civil and political rights, then the legal and judicial empowerment of the right to social justice needs to be strengthened and legal and judicial empowerment in order to face the crises of poverty, housing, unemployment, homelessness and other problems, by providing the right Claiming rights before the judiciary or challenging the unconstitutionality of laws or the illegality of decisions affecting the rights of social justice as the most important human rights. Thus, guaranteeing the right to litigation is an essential element in achieving social justice because it represents the way for the judiciary to exercise its competences represented in protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, protecting the principle of legality, and achieving a balance between society's right to security and protection and the individual's right to a fair trial. Based on the constitutional and legal transformations and economic reforms in Iraq and Bahrain leading to the achievement of development and social justice, it was important to shed light on the issue of judicial empowerment of the right to social justice and the extent of the legislator’s direction in guaranteeing and strengthening it on the one hand, and the extent of the adequacy of judicial protection for it.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Strengthening the Fight against Corruption In Line With the Economic Vision 2030 and Comparative Models: The Algerian Case(2024-04-01) Bousmaha, Nasreddine; Director of the Research Unit: State and Society; University of Oran 2- Algeria - Member of the National Human Rights Council; AlgeriaAt the launch of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 project, the Bahraini authorities allocated a special focus to combating corruption, based on their recognition that corruption is a major obstacle to achieving sustainable development. This approach is not limited to the Bahraini government or the conditions prevailing in the Kingdom, as it reflects a forward-looking perspective encompassing developmental schemes and projects implemented by various countries worldwide, given that corruption is a global phenomenon affecting virtually all societies, albeit at different levels and intensities. National efforts to combat corruption must reflect a genuine commitment to curbing the phenomenon, rather than merely serving as a formal response to international obligations arising from states’ accession to relevant international instruments and treaties. International initiatives in this field have witnessed impressive progress, particularly in strengthening the legal framework and enhancing the work of specialized institutions dedicated to combating corruption. In this study, we highlight the modern Algerian experience, considering the significant measures Algeria has recently undertaken in combating corruption, which can serve as a valuable comparative case.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Criminal Protection of a Person’s Geolocation as a Modern Form of Privacy Inviolability (A Comparative Study)(2024-04-01) Alzwae, Mashaallah Othman; Associate Professor of Criminal Law - Faculty of Law University of Benghazi; LibyaGeolocation technologies and applications provide users with essential services across civil, commercial, and health sectors. However, these tools may also be misused for illegal purposes such as espionage and surveillance, or to facilitate crimes against targeted individuals—such as murder, violence, and other offenses—after determining their location. These risks prompted legislative intervention by both the French and Emirati lawmakers to regulate and protect geolocation data. The French legislator provided such protection under Law No. 936 of 2020, while the Emirati legislator addressed it under Federal Decree- Law No. 31 of 2021. The study found that the UAE legislator requires the crime to be committed through a specific means, whereas the French legislator does not impose such a condition. Additionally, the UAE legislator adopted a broader definition of the actions that constitute an attack on geolocation data, while the French legislator restricted them to acts of capturing, recording, and transferring data. The study further revealed shortcomings in the UAE’s punitive policy regarding aggravated forms of the offense, as well as the liability of legal persons—contrary to the approach adopted under French legislation. The study also concluded that Libyan Law No. 5 of 2022 on combating cybercrime remains ineffective in addressing such conduct.
