Abstract:  
Cyber terrorism occurs if the critical infrastructure of a state including air transportation, dams, nuclear power plants and power generation plants, banking and financial systems are attacked politically motivated or under the ideological actions aimed at forcing the government or organizations with a variety of malware weapons, and thereby causing fear and panic. There is no a comprehensive definition of terrorism on international community and even there is no compulsory comprehensive instrument on this issue, but this new form of terrorism along with other forms such as bioterrorism, nuclear terrorism and eco-terrorism may cause harmful damages compared to the classic types of terrorism. Cyber terrorism disturbs public order and therefore it is known as violating human rights law in each of its four generations in addition to breaches of the Peace and Security. The importance of addressing human rights violations by terrorists in the cyberspace, as well as in the context of the fight against cyber-terrorism, must be taken into account in a comprehensive response to this phenomenon. The current paper is a descriptive-analytical study. Data was collected using library sources.
