Abstract

The Internet has always been an international law problem. Clearly the International institutions ranging from the International Telecommunication Union to the U.N. General Assembly are becoming increasingly involved in regulating the Internet. But it seems that still there is a long road to a coherence international system of rules and regulations concerning internet law in international community.
Apart from the question of the desirability of international rules and regulations, the problem of domestic censorship of filtering as a serious problem, to some extent endangered some human rights principles as free flow of information, principle of freedom of expression, right to privacy, openness and etc. in this article, by focusing on the universality and the unity of cyberspace and the place of co operation among states t enhance the international relations, we will consider the necessity and the possibility of extension of rules and principles of general international law to this context.
