Hi all,
I am Saqib from the UAE.
There is no freedom of panorama in the UAE, however I am willing to advocate for it.
Could we possible have a CN banner for advocacy of Freedom of Panorama for the UAE?
Hi Saquib,
Welcome to the discussion on this list! I think it is great you want to engage yourself and that you are keen on seeing change happen.
Theoretically a banner with a public policy demand for certain language and geographic area is possible. We have had such banners in the past, on several issues. However, usually banners are just a small (but very visible) part of a much greater public policy effort by a community.
Having this in mind, do you know what the exact situation in the UAE is? Who can make that change happen? Have you already spoken to decision-makers in this country or discussed the subject with your local community?
Please don't consider these questions as an attempt to slow down your enthusiasm, I just feel like they will help us chose the most efficient way forward in the case you mention.
Cheers, Dimi

Dear Saqib,
according to my information, the ministry in charge of copyright is the Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, the current minister is Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan (نهيان بن مبارك آل نهيان). It would be helpful to contact the ministry and the minister first to ask them for adding a robust freedom of panorama exception in the copyright law.
A change would probably be in article 22 or 23 of the UAE copyright law (Federal Law 7 of 2002 or 1432), so it could be wise to propose a language that would be fit for insertion into the law.
