The International Dimensions of Cyberspace Law (Law of Cyberspace Series, Volume 1)

Description:

"The first volume in UNESCO's 'Law of Cyberspace' series, The International Dimensions of Cyberspace Law is the first study to examine cyberspace law from an international perspective, thereby revealing its intricacy and complexity." "Penned by leading legal experts in the new field of cyberspace law, all of whom come from different regions of the world, these chapters present a number of interdisciplinary approaches, both theoretical and practical, to the key role of legal ethics, international law, national law and self-regulation in this digital and transborder environment." "Comprising as it does several comprehensive studies of little-explored questions arising in cyberspace and various law initiatives taken in selected countries and international organizations, the work describes how pertinent international ethical values and legal principles are being applied in this new field. It will appeal to all those who are interested in protecting and promoting human rights in cyberspace on the road towards an information society that is freer and safer for all those living today and for generations to come."--BOOK JACKET.
