Abstract

The present work arises within the scope of the curricular requirements of Final Course Degree in Law from the Eduardo Mondlane University, under the theme: “Legal Situation of Cybercrime in Mozambique”. This work addresses the legal situation of cybercrime in Mozambique, describing the current legislative situation and the challenges faced in combating cybercrime, discussing whether existing laws are sufficient to inhibit cybercrime or whether there should be legislative improvement in order to keep up with current needs of cyber threats. For this, descriptive research was carried out, using a qualitative approach, using books that address the topic, scientific articles and documentary analysis to acquire greater knowledge of the topic. The study concludes with the insufficiency of the current legislation to respond to the great demand for cybercrime and the need to improve the effectiveness of laws, through continuous updating and elaboration of the legal provision that determines the general regime of cybercrimes.
