چکیده
ارتکاب حملات سایبری از سوی تروریستها، ضمن ایجاد آثار فزاینده در ابعاد اقتصادی، اجتماعی، سیاسی و امنیتی، امکان نقض امنیت زیرساختهای حیاتی بهعنوان اهداف راهبردی در قلمرو نظامهای ملی و بینالمللی را به دنبال خواهد داشت. ازاینرو، دیوان کیفری بینالمللی باید صلاحیت خود را برای رسیدگی به ارتکاب چنین جرائمی توسعه دهد تا امکان پاسخ به تهدیدهای فراملی و تأثیرگذار بر امنیت جهانی را فراهم نماید. برای این منظور، اصلاحات در اساسنامۀ دیوان و جرمانگاری تروریسم سایبری بهویژه از طریق تدوین معیارهای روشن برای شناسایی، تعقیب و مجازات مرتکبان این جرائم و تقویت همکاریهای بینالمللی در زمینۀ امنیت سایبری، ضرورتی انکارناپذیر است. در این چارچوب، پژوهش حاضر با استفاده از روش توصیفی - تحلیلی درصدد پاسخ به این پرسش است که «آیا امکان طراحی الگوی توسعه در صلاحیت قضایی دیوان برای رسیدگی به تروریسم سایبری علیه زیرساختهای حیاتی وجود دارد؟». وفق این امر، پژوهش ابتدا مبادرت به بررسی امکانسنجی توسعۀ صلاحیت دیوان در این حوزه و تأثیر آن بر امنیت بینالمللی نموده است و سپس ضرورت اصلاحات در اساسنامۀ دیوان را برای جرمانگاری تروریسم سایبری و طراحی الگوی حقوقی لازم جهت شناسایی، تعقیب و مجازات مرتکبان اینگونه جرائم، در راستای ارتقای امنیت جهانی و تسهیل همکاریهای بینالمللی، مورد سنجش قرار میدهد.

چکیده [English]
The commission of cyberattacks by terrorists, in addition to its growing impact on the economic, social, political, and security dimensions, poses the risk of violating the security of critical infrastructures as strategic international targets. Therefore, the International Criminal Court (ICC) should expand its jurisdiction to address such crimes, thereby enabling a response to transnational threats affecting global security. To this end, reforms in the ICC Statute and the criminalization of cyberterrorism, particularly through the development of clear criteria for identifying, prosecuting, and punishing perpetrators of these crimes, as well as strengthening international cooperation in cybersecurity, are essential. In this context, this study, using a descriptive-analytical approach, aims to answer the question: "Is it feasible to design a model for expanding the jurisdiction of the ICC to address cyberterrorism against critical infrastructures?" Accordingly, the research first examines the feasibility of expanding the ICC’s jurisdiction in this area and its impact on international security, and then assesses the necessity of reforms in the ICC Statute for the criminalization of cyberterrorism and the design of a necessary legal model for identifying, prosecuting, and punishing the perpetrators of such crimes, in line with enhancing global security and facilitating international cooperation.
