	This photograph from the United Arab Emirates was published prior to 1986 and is currently in the public domain due to the expiration of its term of protection, which was set at ten years from publication by Federal Law No. 40 for the Year 1992 (Art. 20). Although the 1992 law was repealed by Federal Law No. 7 for the Year 2002, the new law makes it explicitly clear (Art. 3) that it does not retroactively renew the copyright of works already in the public domain on the date of its entry into force (1 July 2002). (details) In order to be hosted on Commons, public domain works must be out-of-copyright in both the United States and their source country. Emirati photographs are currently in the public domain in the United States if their protection period had expired in the United Arab Emirates prior to the U.S. date of restoration (10 April 1996).
	Emirati photographs published between 1986 and 1992 (i.e. those that were still copyrighted on the U.S. date of restoration but whose protection period expired before the entry into force of the new Emirati copyright law) are currently in the public domain in the United Arab Emirates but not in the United States. Such photographs are no longer accepted at Commons.
