CYBER TERRORISM FROM THE CRIMINAL LAW PERSPECTIVE

Siber terörizm, ulusal ve uluslararası seviyede tehdit olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bunun nedeni, siber saldırıların dünyanın herhangi bir yerinden gelebilmesi ve gizlenebilmesidir. İnternet, kimsenin üzerinde tamamen egemenlik kuramadığı, devletlerin, şirketlerin ve kişilerin sahip olamadığı bir yapıdır. Bunun sonucu olarak siber ortam, sınırasahip değildir. Siber terörizmin sınırları aşan yapısı, yargılama konularını önemli bir tartışma alanı yapmaktadır. Siber terörizm, özel çaba gerektiren, olabildiğince kapsamlı strateji ve politika üretilelerek mücadele edilmesi gereken bir konudur. Bu mücadele, ceza hukuku sistemi de dâhil tüm tarafların çabalarını içermektedir. Ceza hukuku sisteminin yeni gelişmelere uyum sağlaması gerekmektedir. Fakat, hangi kuralın geliştirilmesi gerektiğini tartışmadan önce, siber terörizm teriminin bir ceza hukuku terimi olarak açıklanması önem arz etmektedir. Çünkü, kelimeler hukuk biliminin vazgeçilmez malzemesidir. Bu çalışmada, siber terörizm bir ceza hukuku terimi olarak incelenmiş ve Türk Ceza Hukukunda siber teröristler tarafından işlenecebilecek suçlar tartışılmıştır.

Ceza Hukuku Açısından Siber Terörizm *

Cyber terrorism has been recognized as a threat at national and international level. The reason of that cyber attacks can come from anywhere on the globe and be easily hidden. The Internet is not a single entity; no government, company, or individual owns it. As a result, cyber space has no border. The transnational character of cyber terrorism makes jurisdictional issues an important area of concern. Responding to cyber terrorism requires special efforts and developing strategies and policies that need to be as inclusive as possible. It includes bringing efforts from all parties, including criminal law system. The criminal law system must adapt to new development. But, before discussing what rules should be developed, it is important to explain cyber terrorism as a criminal law term. Because words are inevitable instruments of jurisprudence. In this study, cyber terrorism as a criminal law term has been examined and discussed which crimes in Turkish Penal Law can be committed by cyber terrorist.
