Abstract

In March 2022, the government of Burundi put in place a law on the prevention and repression of cybercrime. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether this law n°1/10 of March 22, 2022, on the prevention and repression of cybercrime incriminates one of the new forms of sexual exploitation and abuse of children in this informational world: the sexual blackmail of children online. A reading of paragraph six of the seventh section of this cybercrime law, entitled "Threats, blackmail, and publication of rumors," might lead one to believe that Burundian lawmakers have criminalized acts of online blackmail. An analysis of the provisions of articles 50, 51, and 52 of this law on cybercrime reveals that acts of online blackmail are not criminalized, much fewer acts of sexual blackmail of children online. On the contrary, only threats with racist or xenophobic motivation, attacks against the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and computer systems, and the publication of rumors are criminalized.

布隆迪实在法对网上儿童性勒索的压制

2022年3月，布隆迪政府颁布了一项预防和打击网络犯罪的法律。本研究的目的是分析2022年3月22日第1/10号关于预防和打击网络犯罪的法律是否将信息世界中对儿童的性剥削和性虐待的一种新形式定罪:在线儿童的性勒索。阅读网路犯罪法第七章第六段，标题为“威胁、勒索与散布谣言”，可能会让人相信布隆迪立法机关已将网路勒索行为定为犯罪。分析该法律关于网络犯罪的第50条、第51条和第52条的规定可以发现，网络勒索行为没有被定为刑事犯罪，更不用说对儿童的网络性勒索行为了。相反，只有带有种族主义或仇外动机的威胁，对数据和计算机系统的保密性、完整性和可用性的攻击，以及发布谣言才被定为犯罪。

期刊介绍： The purpose of this journal is to provide a medium of exchange for scientists engaged in applied sciences (physics, mathematical physics, natural, and technological sciences) where there exists a non-trivial interplay between mathematics, mathematical modelling of real systems and mathematical and computer methods oriented towards the qualitative and quantitative analysis of real physical systems. The principal areas of interest of this journal are the following: 1.Mathematical modelling of systems in applied sciences; 2.Mathematical methods for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of models of mathematical physics and technological sciences; 3.Numerical and computer treatment of mathematical models or real systems. Special attention will be paid to the analysis of nonlinearities and stochastic aspects. Within the above limitation, scientists in all fields which employ mathematics are encouraged to submit research and review papers to the journal. Both theoretical and applied papers will be considered for publication. High quality, novelty of the content and potential for the applications to modern problems in applied sciences and technology will be the guidelines for the selection of papers to be published in the journal. This journal publishes only articles with original and innovative contents. Book reviews, announcements and tutorial articles will be featured occasionally.
