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.
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.
