Navigating Diverse International Frameworks

On June 6, 2016, I&J’s Director and Co-founder, Bertrand de La Chapelle, was invited to speak at a Cybercrime Symposium hosted by the US Department of Justice Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC. The one-day symposium focused on cybercrime and electronic evidence gathering, issues closely related to I&J’s Data & Jurisdiction program.

Mr. de La Chapelle contributed to the first panel of the event, titled “Navigating Diverse International Frameworks for Protecting Expression.” Panelists discussed different legal frameworks for defining and protecting the freedom of expression online, as well as the transnational impacts of enforcing potentially divergent laws.

The reach of the Internet has enabled unprecedented levels of cross-border data flows. However, national jurisdictions also increasingly come into conflict in cross-border online spaces, as explained in the I&J Paper, Jurisdiction on the Internet: From Legal Arms Race to Transnational Cooperation.
