Cyberspace can be defined as an intricate environment that involves interactions between people, software, and services. It is maintained by the worldwide distribution of information and communication technology devices and networks.
Ø ROLE
OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS
In various countries, areas of the computing and
communication industries are regulated by governmental bodies.
There are specific rules on the uses to which
computers and computer networks, in particular there are rules on unauthorized
access, data privacy and spamming.
There are also limits on the use of encryption and
of equipment which may be used to defeat copy protection schemes.
There are laws governing trade on the Internet,
taxation, consumer protection, and advertising.
There are laws on censorship versus freedom of
expression, rules on public access to government information, and individual
access to information held on them by private bodies.
Some states limit access to the Internet, by law as
well as by technical means.
Cybercrime is "international" that there
are ‘no cyber-borders between countries’. The complexity in types and forms of
cybercrime increases the difficulty to fight back.
Fighting cybercrime needs for international
cooperation. Various organizations and governments have already made joint
efforts in establishing global standards of legislation and law enforcement
both on a regional and on an international scale.
