Jurisdiction on the Internet has become a core concern at the intersection of human rights, the global digital economy and security. Discussions and reform initiatives addressing this issue have emerged around the world in recent years, involving numerous policy silos and a multiplicity of actors.
Enabling Multistakeholder Cooperation
The Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference gathered key representatives from states, Internet platforms, technical operators, civil society, academia and international organizations on an equal footing to address the issue of jurisdiction online.
The goal of the Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference was to enable transnational cooperation and catalyze operational solutions. It was prepared through a series of reports and international meetings throughout 2016, and was structured around three Workstreams:
- DATA & JURISDICTION
- CONTENT & JURISDICTION
- DOMAINS & JURISDICTION
Internet & Jurisdiction is grateful to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs for having provided its Ministerial Conference Center as the venue for the inaugural Global Internet and Jurisdiction Conference.
