By the development of communication, the exchange of information through efficient tools with maximum speed, accuracy, minimum time and cost allocation is inevitable. Cyberspace plays this role well but complex risks such as cyber-terrorism may arise in such a popular environment. In order to achieve its goals, cyber-terrorism as a form of international terrorism may impose serious harm on the vital infrastructures of the targeted state including nuclear threats or anything which bears the potential to become weapons of mass destruction. On the other hand, the observance of human rights, particularly providing the right to freedom and security, even for the terrorist suspects and offenders are among the inherent duties of states. To protect the public interest in combating terrorism, states have attempted to impose restrictions which are considered as violation of their obligations regarding the privacy policy. Nevertheless, the obligation to preserve and protect the public rights are not only the duty of states, but also the criteria to measure their compliance with the obligation to prevent the violation of human rights. States have also been restricted in the exercise of these rights and obligations.
