The role of international cooperation in ensuring the law and order of the digital space
The article examines the role of international cooperation as an important link in the policing of the digital space, while preserving the democratic foundations of the Internet as the core of the digital space. International cooperation is a way for the countries of the world to reach a consensus on overcoming ordinary crimes in the digital space without pursuing a policy of nationalization of the digital space within their country. The analysis of criminal offenses in the digital space, which are universal for most countries of the world, is carried out. The importance of international cooperation in the interaction of not only countries within the UN in order to ensure the rule of law in the digital space, but also civil society and transnational corporations is considered. The idea of participatory governance of the Internet is analyzed. International cooperation within the framework of regional organizations, including normative regulation of the digital space in order to ensure its law and order in the European Union, is also examined. The conclusion recognizes the important role of international cooperation not only in ensuring the rule of law of the digital space in terms of normative regulation, but also in preserving the multiplicity, multipolarity and pluralism of the Internet as minimum guarantees of the democratic underpinnings of the rule of law of the digital space.
