The mechanisms encountering cyber terrorism in the Algerian legislation

Abstract EN

The e- terrorism crime is one of the most important features in the modern scientific development in the means of communication and information technology, where terrorist groups and organizations found their way in these modern means used to facilitate communication between terrorist groups and coordinate their operations and preparation and even their implementation.

This study seeks to try to demystify this new criminal phenomenon, define its concept, explain its characteristics, and identify its causes and ways of committing.

It also aims at exposing the Algerian legislator's policy in combating this crime in the light of the existing legal texts and in light of the legislator's enactment after the amendment of the Penal Code under Law 16-02 of 19 June 2016 by adding articles 87 bis 11 and 87 bis 12 and thus access to the forms of protection which Legislator guaranteed against this new type of criminality.
