Abstract
As an integral part of the SIGNAL project hosted at the NRCCL, this project critically assesses the role of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and international law in establishing security frameworks for cyberspace. It will map the roles and policies of selected IGOs – primarily the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), COE, EU and World Trade Organization (WTO) – in the field of internet security. It will further carry out a critical legal analysis and develop a framework (de lege ferenda) for future roles and policies of these IGOs – in their interaction with other international organizations and non-governmental organizations.
