TEHRAN (IBNA) -- A helpful book, ‘International Internet Law’ (2012) by polish academic Joanna ‎Kulesza has been translated into Persian and has found its way to Iranian bookstores. ‎
The book has been translated into Persian by Milad Fatehi. Majma’ Elmi Farhangi-e Majd Publishing has released ‘International Internet Law’ in 305 pages and 500 copies.
This work discusses the international legal issues underlying Internet Governance and proposes an international solution to its problems.
The book encompasses a wide spectrum of the current debate surrounding the governance of the internet and focuses on the areas and issues which urgently require attention from the international community in order to sustain the proper functioning of the global network that forms the foundation of our information fuelled society.
Among the topics discussed are international copyright protection, state responsibility for cyber-attacks (cyberterrorism), and international online privacy protection.
Taking a comparative approach by examining how different jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, China and Singapore have attempted various solutions to the problem of Internet Governance, the author offers a practical solution to the problem and is a proponent of International Internet Law.
Kulesza suggests that just as in the case of International Environmental Law, an Internet Framework Convention could shape the starting point for international cooperation and lead to a clear, contractual division of state jurisdictional competences.
Joanna Kulesza is an assistant professor of international public law at the Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Lodz, Poland. Her research interests include limits of state competence in cyberspace, international cooperation on Internet governance and the future of World Wide Web.
