Cyber Attacks on Human Rights and the Role of Cyber Governance

Ziad Zouheiry

Abstract: The paper is about cyber-attacks and their consequences on human rights and the effective role of cyber governance in protecting the users from human rights violations, besides the mixed method approach and deductive reasoning were used in the paper to collect information from different resources as like books, articles form the internet, and we used some research studies which are similar to our subject and we used also record keeping which represented articles from different sources. Cyber-attacks have caused many human rights violations because the attacks disclosed the privacies of cyber users which is human right violation, also the cyber-attacks had badly affected the freedom of expression and freedom of opinion and the intellectual property in many incidents which are also human rights violations, and the question is how we can prevent the human rights violations in cyber space. The research findings lead us to cyber governance which is the best way to protect the users in cyber space, and the number of human rights violations will definitely decrease if the governance is applicable in cyber space because cyber governance will be based on high ethical standards and the governance will represent the international law in cyber space which will be the guard of human rights.
