INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN COMBATING CRIMINAL OFFENCES IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATIZATION AND COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

Cybercrimes can be committed by criminals anywhere in the world where there is an Internet connection. The negative consequences of cybercrime can be felt outside the country where the criminal lives. The transnational nature of this crime challenges traditional notions of jurisdiction and requires cooperation between criminal justice officials worldwide. The necessity and validity of collaboration within the framework of international organizations are due to the global spread of this type of crime. International cooperation in cybersecurity should be systematic, holistic and consistent. Despite these and other successful joint efforts of the countries, there are currently obstacles standing in the way of international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime. This article discusses the concepts of sovereignty and jurisdiction concerning cybercrime, mechanisms of international cooperation, and problems related to the implementation of international collaboration.
