Abstract

Preserving the security secrets and not dispensing them is one of the important duties on all citizens, as it is considered one of the important secrets at the state level because it relates to its existence and its continuation and its security depends on it in different aspects. In general, or the employee, according to his daily work, whose job center imposes the ability to see these secrets and knowledge of them.


Because of what causes the disclosure of these secrets and the spread of the interest of the state, society and national security, most legislation has been keen to criminalize those who divulge government secrets in general and security secrets in particular. We discussed the crime of divulging security secrets by clarifying the concept of this crime and determining the penalty resulting from its perpetrators in both Iraqi and Jordanian law by following the comparative approach.
