Protecting family from the harms of social networks in international and internal law

(Analytical study)

Abstract 

    Social networks are an important and effective part of technological development, and these networks continue to evolve and change. Despite their benefits, there are many negative effects on the family and the individual, such as divorce, domestic violence, the promotion of extremist ideas, and the distortion and diminishing of the supreme values of society and the family. Additionally, they can lead to negative changes in moral values. Moreover, social networks pose obstacles to performing certain rights and obligations within the family and reduce their exercise of some rights, such as the right of parents to raise their children and the mutual rights of married couples.

  The aim of this research is to analyze the negative effects of social networks and the level of interest of legislators and the legal organization of social networking sites, as well as their effects at the international and domestic levels in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, to preserve the family entity and reduce the damage to it. We used the analytical approach to achieve our goal in this research. We divided the research into two chapters, with each chapter subdivided into three sections. In the end, we presented a number of conclusions and recommendations.

Key words: Family protection, Social networks, International law, Internal law.
