Protecting children from cybercrimes between international response and national combat efforts

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this research is to identify a new type of crime that differs from traditional crimes in Iraqi society or what was known until the information revolution as we enter the era of electronic crimes and their negative impact on children in society. Cybercrime is one of the most important threats to social security for all local and international communities alike, and these risks require collective action by various sectors and segments of society, especially educated people, in order to educate society about the dangers of these crimes, their dimensions and manifestations that are still under study and research. Especially countries that have long-term contact with the world, which makes them more vulnerable to such crimes, which are characterized by a high degree of organization, accuracy, and uncertainty for large segments of individuals as well, specifically in Iraqi society. The research problem lies in the fact that despite all the progress made in national legislation in Iraq and international agreements that concern the child, it is still threatened by many crimes, especially cybercrimes, which began to pose a serious threat to children and a matter of concern to their families, so it was necessary to shed light On this crime and knowing to what extent did the Iraqi legislator protect the child compared to protection at the international level for him? We will try, through our research, to answer this problem accurately.
