Abstract

Iraqi and other comparable legislations, including Egyptian and French, have been keen to
criminalize any act that can be considered an infringement of human rights with respect to
conversations and communications. This criminalization is based on the need to provide
security to individual's private life; it cannot be interfered with unless by the consent of the
individual possessing this life. The two most significant aspects of this life which the legislator
intended to protect are what goes on in a person's conversations and the conditions followed
by such person depending on the fact that no one could have access to them. Public's
perspective on such criminalization is that; modern technological advancement led to
producing devices which can access someone's privacy without his knowledge or his ability to
protect against such access. Such access infringes private life if not detaches it from its private
characteristic, thereby ending up in the hands of those accessing it whose number is indefinite.
Interfering in privacy though infringement of conversations threatens a fundamental aspect of
society's values and customs. Therefore, an infringement of private life is an infringement of
society's rights. Not to mention the moral and material loss suffered by the victim of such
infringement.
