Abstract :
The international law of cyberspace is still in its initial stage of development and formation and the relevant international institutions and authorities are consulting on various issues related to the cyberspace. However, all the actors in this field have reached a consensus regarding such principles as the principle of freedom of information, the right to privacy, the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of countries, as well as the principle of prohibiting the use of force in cyberspace, and the binding regulations and documents have been approved and implemented in a global scale in this regard. The nature of the cyberspace needs to be studied and analyzed enough to be able to apply the legal rules of the real space to that space. In this regard, concepts such as the civil responsibility, the criminal responsibility and, especially, the international responsibility and their instances and proofs in cyberspace must be analyzed and adapted. This issue has been covered by the present article.
