Abstract

Countries face the dangers of digital crimes for many reasons, from poor technology, inability and lack of standards to financial constraints, lack of cooperation with international law and implementing organizations. In order to combat digital crimes to the maximum extent, the Iranian legislator is trying to establish numerous and diverse regulations and documents that aim to strengthen the legal capacities for discovering and prosecuting the perpetrators of such crimes. However, despite the legislator's knowledge of the possibility of committing various crimes on digital platforms, the type of legal provisions has not been established according to the circumstances and situation of the perpetrator and the type of crime, which will somehow weaken the development of the perpetrators' activism in such a space. In addition, in recent decades, the Pakistani legislator has attempted to adopt various regulations in order to protect the digital space and combat threats and crimes committed in it, and has established centers in this regard, which have provided the means to prevent and suppress the commission of digital crimes. Of course, the established standards have not been able to provide the digital space with legal and legal protection to the maximum extent. Therefore, the question of “Given the technical and technological developments in the global community, what capacity is there in the legislative sphere of Iran and Pakistan in responding to digital crimes?” has been the main focus of this article, the answer to which is the ultimate goal of writing the article.
