حماية الحق في سرية المراسلات في ظل التطور التكنولوجي للمعلومات

الملخص

The right of secrecy of correspondence is considered one of the
personal rights which are connected with human personality and it has
gained a prominent significance in the life of nations and people. Due to its
importance, states and different legal systems have started to devote the
practicing of this right through their international and regional conventions
and their constitutional documents.
Therefore, any violation of the secrecy of correspondence means a
violation of the private life of individuals, particularly under the
technological development of information and communication. Monitoring
the mail, e-mail and phone calls constitute a risk on the privacy of man and
his personal correspondence, a matter that requires much more care for
being one of the vital and developed issues under the deficiency of
traditional criminal laws as well as the absence of
legislations in most of the Arab states regarding the
violation of e-mail correspondence secrecy as being one of the most recent means of communication and correspondence; besides
many of these countries have appealed to constrain practicing it on the
pretext of preserving security and public order particularly in exceptional
conditions.
