Abstract

< p >With the advent of computers and the Internet, a new age has begun in human history.Several attacks in cyberspace committed by numerous actors, in various ways, from governments to non-state actors and agents, have threatened international order and security. The question posed in this paper is why governments should develop an international convention on cyber attacksSince international law Due to the specific feature of cyberspace, can not fully cover this area, An international convention specifically on cyberspace, with the participation of all states, should be drafted with clear and binding rules as well as a mechanism for updating the Convention in the light of the advancement of cyber-science in order to prevent the abuse of the actors in this area, as well as It will strengthen deterrence on the international scene. Although because of Cyber power interests in cyberspace, it seem unlikely they are willing to formulate and accept such a treaty, but necessity for keeping international peace and security justifies acceptance of an International Cyber treaty by them.
