The Concept of Electronic Terrorist Acts in International Criminal Law

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the role of technology in spreading terrorism, Identify cybercrime sanctions in international public law, and Identify gaps in international public law in reducing cyber terrorism by identifying weaknesses. Of the most important findings of the study include: current global developments show that terrorism is unlikely to be terminated in the coming few years, despite the cooperative efforts by the United Nations, the international community and its Member States. Through the "war on terror", the United States has taken the lead in this regard.      The invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 was carried out as consequence of the terrorist strikes of September 11 in the United States America. Since then constant unrest continued in the Middle East. The case law on terrorist organizations in these three authorities, and particularly the legal values resulting from the proportion or jurisdiction of these provisions, indicates that, despite tariff variances, there seems to be a similarity of legitimate values arising from jurisprudence. A relative examination of the judicial principles arising from the proportions of each of the Supreme Court's rulings on terrorism discloses an extensive variety of principles of law which, in some cases, apply in particular to the legal system of their State. What is more clear is that these lawful principles are similar, and if they are considered as a whole, they are perfectly consistent. These legal values seem to show a similarity rather than a difference in this area of crucial importance to domestic criminal law. This supports both transnational and global counterterrorism policies, laws and strategies because it suggests that what seems to be developing is a public comprehending of what creates terrorism, at least through these three main jurisdictions of public law.   The Supreme Courts recognize the obligation to abide by legitimate principles and domestic and global rules when applied.
