International liability arising from cybercrimes

Abstract

The research aims to identify the position of international law on the subject of cybercrimes, and to know the extent of the possibility of establishing international responsibility for cybercrimes. This research addresses two requirements: defining cybercrimes, and the second requirement: the legal classification of cybercrimes. The research concluded that cybercrimes are one of the latest forms of crimes that have emerged recently, and are characterized by the fact that

they acquire their specificity from their pillars and foundations, and that they are an illegal act in themselves, violating the provisions and rules of international law, resulting in the penetration of state secrets and documents, and targeting the interests of the state, and working to invent new international issues that states did not know in the era of traditional wars. The research recommends working to achieve cybersecurity and combat cybercrimes, as well as preserving the rights resulting from the legitimate use of computers and information networks.
