Support for victims of cybercrimes has gained significant importance as an emerging topic in contemporary criminal policy, driven by the expansion of communication technologies and the rise of offenses committed in cyberspace. Due to characteristics such as their transnational nature, rapid occurrence, the difficulty of identifying perpetrators, and the extensive scope of material and non-material damages, cybercrimes place victims in a more vulnerable position than victims of traditional crimes. Consequently, examining the status of support for this category of victims within domestic and international criminal law is essential. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method and relies on library research to investigate the protection of cybercrime victims under domestic and international criminal regulations. Despite the enactment of the Computer Crimes Law, the state of criminal protection for cybercrime victims in Iranian domestic law remains inadequate and fragmented; the primary challenges lie in an exclusive focus on punishing the perpetrator, a lack of effective mechanisms for reparation, and difficulties in proving claims within the virtual environment. The key strategy for enhancing victim support is to define precise operational mechanisms within domestic laws that ensure the swift realization of rights and the reparation of damages. Furthermore, strengthening international judicial cooperation and updating regulations through a restorative justice approach can bridge existing legal gaps regarding the transnational nature of cybercrimes.
