Investigating Civil Liability for Violation of Privacy with an Approach to Subject Rights And international documents

With the expansion of communication and the growing development of new needs and concepts, it enters the set of legal laws, one of the most important of which is privacy. Privacy is closely related to human dignity and, as we know, is one of the most important examples of human rights, in other words, privacy can be included in the first generation of human rights. International human rights instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms - Covenants (Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) and the Islamic Declaration on Human Rights state that it is inviolable. The ways in which this has been practiced in different legal systems are quite different from each other.Unfortunately, in Iran, despite the existence of serious and sufficient legal bases to protect the right to privacy, a comprehensive law has not yet been adopted, and this right in Iran needs a major change. The sources of civil liability for violating privacy can be seen in the Qur'an and Sunnah, but it can not be explicitly said that there is a law in society that can find the types of privacy and its violations and methods of compensation. Because most of the damage is to the dignity of individuals and is a kind of moral damage, it is difficult to compensate without comprehensive and complete laws.
