Project Summary

Part I of my PhD project studies the applicability and scope of the states' due diligence obligation in cyberspace. It further examines the international human rights obligation to protect against harmful cyber activities. The hypthesis is that existing international law is not sufficient to maintain a "safe a secure cyberspace" in the future. In Part II of my thesis, I am thus developing a new normative framework to maintain a "safe and secure cyberspace" and protect it as a "common good".
