الحاجة إلى تجريم الانتقام الإباحي في العراق

Abstract EN

Revenge porn is the practice of posting and distributing an intimate image or video of unconsenting individual online, often by an exboyfriend in order to harm, humiliate, or otherwise seek revenge upon the subject of the material after the relationship has deteriorated.

Scholars are in disagreement about how best to deal with the revenge porn problem.

Some advocate for civil remedies to compensate victims, while other consider that criminal law is the appropriate remedy.

This Article examines the legal remedies, weighing their advantages and disadvantages in order to decide whether they are the proper solution for revenge porn.

The Article argues that legal remedies provide little or no deterrent to perpetrators of revenge porn and offer almost no remedy for victims.

The Article proposes a framework for an effective statute that criminalises revenge porn in Iraq and providing victims with remedies, they deserve.
