The general public demand for openness in the conduct of investigative actions and trial participants’ work is successfully satisfied with the introduction of new technologies that contribute to the establishment of objective disclosure of certain offenses. This article discusses the compatibility of admitting witness testimony through videoconferences with the concept of governance in judicial proceedings, comparing the approaches of the UAE and Jordanian legal systems, with the ultimate purpose of highlighting the advantages of using these modern methods. The article defines videoconferences, the practical and legal reasons for relying upon them and uses examples from the Emirati, Jordanian, and French systems, discusses the extent to which videoconferences are compatible with the concept of governance in the dispensation of judgments. The article suggests that the Emirati and Jordanian legislature develop explicit rules to regulate the process of electronic witness testimony paying attention to the use of new technological and security trends. © 2023, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of State and Law.
