Abstract
what happened in wars and human violations has become a threat to international peace and security. This development has been accompanied by a new trend that sees the human being at the center of legal legislation, and the charters of military courts and the United Nations and the draft crimes against human peace and security emphasized the criminal responsibility of natural persons. With regard to the individual international criminal responsibility for digital espionage, there are no clear rules in this regard and at the level of information crime in general, as the field of individual international criminal responsibility for information crimes is still very poor, and the responsibility for this crime is only at the level of the national judiciary, but that A part of the jurisprudence believes that it is possible to expand the concept of the Rome Statute to include these crimes, especially if they were of a kinetic nature, for example, that digital espionage resulted in the theft of secret passwords or codes for launching missiles or destroying a power station or the like of protected objects .In terms of the personal scope, the crimes that fall within the jurisdiction of the Court, particularly the war crime and the crime of aggression, can be adapted to the nature of digital espionage. Therefore, paragraph 4 of point 2-a of Article 8 of the Charter, which referred to the war crime, can be adapted to digital espionage. Where she pointed out, "the widespread destruction and seizure of property without a military necessity justifying this, and in violation of the law and in a frivolous manner", as digital espionage can cause great damage to property and control it by penetrating the information system that manages these properties, which could potentially Be property of civilian objects.
As for the crime of aggression, the text of Article (8) bis states that aggression is a threat to the political independence of the state or its territorial integrity, and digital espionage, especially the consequences and damages that it entails, constitutes a clear threat to its international, regional and political security, especially if it results in targeted killings - or damage to the interests of states. As for the personal scope of the international criminal responsibility for digital espionage and who bears the international criminal responsibility within the scope of the statute of the International Criminal Court for this crime, where the charter specified a number of criteria on the basis of which international responsibility is determined. As for digital espionage, the personal scope is determined by the military commander. The one who orders the spying, the fighter who performs the mission, as well as the programmer who launches the spyware.
