Judge/ Yassin Abdalla Abdelkarim is an Egyptian judge and a leading researcher in the field of cyber law and emerging digital legal frameworks. He serves at the Ministry of Justice in Egypt and is the founder of the Cyber Jurisprudence International Initiative (CyJurII)—a global platform dedicated to advancing legal thought in the digital age.

Abdelkarim's research focuses on the intersection of international law, cyber sovereignty, and human rights in cyberspace. He is particularly interested in how doctrines like universal jurisdiction and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) can be extended to address cross-border cyber threats, digital authoritarianism, and the misuse of AI technologies. His work calls for proactive, principles-based legal systems to govern cyberspace and close the gaps in global cyber accountability.

Through CyJurII, he connects scholars, judges, and practitioners from around the world to contribute to the evolution of cyber jurisprudence—a legal discipline essential for addressing crimes, conflicts, and governance in digital spaces. Judge/ Abdelkarim writes extensively on digital due process, dark web forensics, and state obligations in cyber governance. By bridging Arab legal perspectives with international norms, he plays a vital role in shaping an inclusive and just global cyber legal order.
