In this article, the authors\u2019 points out that there is no uniform<br>legislation on how to deal with cybercrime within Iraq. Technological challenges, limited<br>resources, and many other political and social obstacles imped in the way for Iraq\u2019s government<br>to prioritize cybercrime as a national threat. Even so, the question of how to exact just<br>punishment for cybercrime goes beyond the confines of a nation\u2019s borders just as the internet is<br>run internationally. What are the limitations in the cybercrime legislations framework in Iraq,<br>and how does it halt the effectiveness of the government addressing cybercrime? And with an<br>ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, certain limitations must be addressed for the governing<br>body to address issues and promote improving cyberspace. The article delves deeper into<br>comparative analysis, comparing that of Iraq\u2019s cyberspace standards to that of Europe\u2019s<br>Convention on Cybercrime; even acknowledging Nigeria and China for instating online<br>regulations. The authors also discuss a more political analysis of the policy decisions of Iraq,<br>arguing that policy changes, international agreements, and technological consequences. As of the<br>publication of the article, Iraq has no governing body watching over its digital industry. There<br>have been efforts in cybersecurity by organizations and a bill has been passed in Iraq\u2019s House of<br>Representatives. However, there has been no laws put into place to apply more presence for their<br>government on the Iraq webspace. The low effort has come with its consequences. Iraq\u2019s<br>ungoverned digital industry has come with a thirty-three percent increase in internet fraud and<br>twenty-four percent increase in copyright violation. All these major increases have affected<br>individual rights with the increase of info hacking, child pornography, and privacy. For Iraq to<br>overcome these challenges, they must first reorder their prioritizes. Ensuring that the country is<br>safe online and in person is a must. That can only be done if the political leaders take a step up<br>and declare cybercrime illegal and enforce the rules to ensure safety among their citizens. These<br>political and social obstacles can be deconstructed by reaching outside of their borders.<br>Establishing international aid and partnerships with other countries by aligning themselves with<br>the same ideologies could be effective in establishing trade in future resources.<br>https:\/\/cybercrimejournal.com\/menuscript\/index.php\/cybercrimejournal\/article\/view\/186\/68<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Addressing Limitations for Effective Governance addresses the concern andimpact of cybercrime having the ability to impact nations at any stage; and the need forcorresponding governments to be heavily informed about cyberspace topics to take initiativeactions before issues arise.
