In his contribution to the Völkerrechtsblog, Matthias C. Kettemann describes how international law and Internet governance protect the future of the Internet.
The Internet – as a global technological facility enabling information and communication creation and exchange – has become an object of regulation by international law. But more than that: the Internet’s security, stability, robustness, resilience and functionality (its integrity) has crystallized into a global common interest. Internet integrity has become essential for the effective administration for all private and statal critical infrastructural resources.
