1. The UAE has decriminalised attempted suicide, removing criminal punishment for those who have attempted to take their own life. The change aims to encourage people to seek help without fear of prosecution. However, penalties apply to those who incite or assist another person to take their own life, depending on the circumstances and outcome. Minor penalties for unauthorised photography or sharing of images may be applied under Article 44 of the UAE Cybercrimes Law, depending on the circumstances.
