Abstract
In recent years, with the expansion of global activities and communications in cyberspace and the development of networks and platforms based on cyber and cloud space, we have seen an increase in the number and variety of internet and cyber crimes. It is obvious that in order to control crimes in a new platform such as the Internet and cyber space, we also need to formulate laws and norms with high enforcement guarantees to prevent, control and deal with cyber crimes. In this article, we have an overview of the activities carried out in the field of the adoption of cybercrime laws at the domestic and international level. It should be noted that the history of the adoption of cyber laws in the world goes back to 1978 in America and the last law passed in this field also goes back to the agreement approved in the Convention on Cybercrimes in 2009. Iran also passed the law of computer crimes in 2018 after investigations in different periods of time. With all these efforts, it seems that with the ever-increasing progress of technology and the increase in the variety and extent of use of cyber space, the laws related to this field, unlike traditional crimes, need constant and continuous review.
