Abstract
The development and advancement of information and communication technologies along with its effective functions on many and varied issues related to human life has caused damage to the rights of citizens in the cyber space. However, the extent of the cyber space requires that a series of general legal principles and rules governs all the relationships in this space. In the present research, using library sources and descriptive and analytical research methods, it is the answer to the issue of ruling legal principles and rules on citizenship rights in the cyber space. the principle of "prohibition of detriment" can be regarded as the ruling principle in the relations between citizens and other members of the society in the cyber space; this principle prevents any detriment to the rights of citizens in the cyber space, and guarantees the harmed person. In terms of the legal rules governing the relationship between the government and citizens in the cyber space, the principle of innocence in the field of substantive matters and the principle of fair trial in the field of formal matters against the powers and means of exercising power by the government guarantee the protection of the rights of citizens in the cyber space. The principle of innocence makes cyber citizens immune from being guilty without any basis and the principle of fair trial also prevents the violation or limitation of citizen's rights in the cyber space under the pretext of ensuring security in this space.
