Background and Aim: The child's right to mental health in cyberspace has become one of the most important legal issues in the field of international law. This right is very vital for the child and must be protected in cyber space as well. Considering that the virtual space is expanding and children, as digital natives, use it as an interactive and learning space, it is necessary to protect their rights against the dangers in this space. It is very important to pay attention to the physical and psychological harm that is caused by inappropriate and unpleasant content that causes online discrimination and harassment and the use of cyberspace without supervision and control for children. In international law, the protection of children's rights is recognized as a fundamental issue and in this regard, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, has defined the principles of protection of children's rights at the international level. In this context, this research aims to answer these questions: and what are the effects of virtual space in his life? From a legal point of view, what are the duties of governments in protecting the right to the health of children in cyberspace?
Method: The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of the type of research, which was collected and analyzed by using library resources and examining a wide range of documents and procedures and other research works.
Results: General Comment No. 25, published on 2021, by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, addressed how governments apply the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the digital domain. The committee's purpose of this public commentary was to provide a strategy for legislation and policy making in the field of fulfilling the obligations of governments in the framework of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its optional protocols in the light of the opportunities, risks and challenges of the digital environment.

Conclusion: One of the main components of the right to health is the right to mental health, which is one of the most important examples of children's rights and various factors are effective in threatening or realizing this right of children and cyber space is one of them. The right to health, the right to education, the right to personal security and the right to recreation and entertainment are the rights associated with the growth and excellence of children, which are strongly related to the digital environment in the age of digitalism.
