Main Article Content

Abstract

This right is related to the personal life, and infringing it could affect the interests of entire society and violates the basic conditions for its existence. Therefore, infringing this right is considered a violation of the constitution, as well as a criminally punishable crime. This right, in addition to being treated as constitutional, is protected in terms of criminal law. Constitutional protection is one of the basic safeguards for protecting the right to privacy. Constitutions have been intense to stipulate this right, but the constitutional legislator was dissatisfied with stipulating it, but rather he indicated guaranteeing and respecting this right and setting restrictions before the state authorities that limit their restriction of such a right. Since the right to information privacy is one of the basic human rights and stipulated in international conventions and national constitutions, the criminal legislator shall provide criminal protection by considering the violation of this right as a punishable crime.
