The international community has come a long way in recognizing women's human rights. Efforts to address sexual violence as an independent human rights crime and its reflection in international and regional instruments continue. Sexual violence and its instances before entering directly into international documents have been considered in the rulings of international criminal courts and under the criminal headings of war crimes, crimes against humanity in the framework of a systematic and widespread attack. However, its formulation as a crime against humanity due to the gross human rights abuses, irrespective of it having been perpetrated in peace or war or the aggression-victim relationship, are noteworthy innovations recognized in the 2011 Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, known as the Istanbul Convention. This research, with a qualitative approach and descriptive-analytical method, will examine the provisions of this convention on identifying the dimensions of violence against women, the conceptual development of the crime of rape, the envisaged mechanisms including legislative, judicial and executive, the analysis and the process from globalization to the humanization of human rights, and the changing role of international law and its impact on the protection of women against violence.

AbstractMany codes advocating public morals have been challenged during recent years. The decriminalization of immoral acts, as one of the most important aspects of modern criminal law, has been rooted in the arguments of scholars such as John Stuart Mill and Joel Feinberg on the state intervention in individual liberties. These scholars by developing freedom restricting principles have advocated a kind of minimalist criminalization in the sphere of public morality. Moreover, the international human rights law system, in an effort to balance cultural diversity and universal values, has endorsed public morality as one of the permissible restrictions on unrestricted civil-political liberties. In fact, following developments in the performance of governments in the field of public morality, the international human rights system, by providing a progressive interpretation of the principles governing criminalization, reject the legal moralism has attempted to defend a kind of rights-oriented criminalization that protects the rights and freedoms of vulnerable people.

Situational crime prevention techniques are considered as fundamental
elements of the cyber security and protection of likely targets from possible
criminal attacks. The technological nature of some measures are such that
can violate a vast number of fundamental rights, including the free flow of
information, and can prevent users from receiving, seeking, and imparting
intended contents. International human rights obligations of governments
prevent them from the maximum application of preventive measures.
However, the security for the sake of public order is accepted to the extent
that human dignity can still be guaranteed in areas where possible crimes of
this nature may be committed; the whole context should not be determined
by security considerations any more than is absolutely necessary. Hence, the
application of situational prevention measures is logical and supported to the
extent where everyone is some how extent responsible for crime prevention,
and users are not deprived of a legitimate right of access to the World Wide
Web when the goal is a reduction of potential opportunities for crime. In this
article, we evaluate the violation of the right to the free flow of information
through the most common measures used to limit or deny access, taking into
account on the one hand the fact that extensive application of these measures
could also limit the spread of creative ideas of network users while, on the
other hand it can safeguard against political and social despotisms.
