Evolution Of The International Regulations Regarding Cybercrime

Abstract

By binding global computers networks, the issue of cybercrime acquired the
features of cross-border criminality, becoming a global problem, whose settlement got the
attention of regional and international organizations.
Because computer crimes go beyond national borders, without the criminals or the
goods resulting from the crime necessarily needing to cross such limits as well, the question
“who should investigate such deeds?” requires a carefully analysed answer.
The problem of multiple jurisdictions that might interfere with the investigation of
such cybercrimes and the acknowledgement that national laws are very different, many of
them lacking the specific provisions regarding cybercrime (in the early ‘80s), triggered,
especially within the international organizations, debates regarding this phenomenon and
the creation of efficient combat instruments.
