Organizational and legal aspects of interaction of states in the global information space

Abstract

The information society, which exists and develops at two levels – national and international, creates conditions for the économie growth in a number of countries, the intensive inclusion of states and entire regions in global integration processes, and the formation of a single information space. At the same time, in the absence of generally accepted rules of interaction and ensuring security, national, but not international, legal initiatives are being formed, which creates new risks and threats and exacerbates existing ones to information security and requires the development of international norms in the information field. The conducted research proves that experts distinguish four possible ways of development of legal regulation of the information space, but today it is inherent in the activities of international entities - EU, NATO. Thus, the issue of legal regulation of information relations acquires special importance within the framework of the EU, there are close ties between information security and the general security policy of the EU, and the key issues of the EU in the context of ensuring the information interaction of states are the legal regulation of the protection of personal data, the construction of the digital sovereignty of the EU, countering misinformation and on the Internet, technological development (artificial intelligence). The provisions of NATO standards are aimed, first of all, at the unification of a large number of legal norms of the member countries of the Alliance, some principles can be applied to unification (establishment of information exchange) between information systems of different structures. Cyberspace is also important in the sense that it is much more than just the Internet, as all devices accessible through cyberspace can be potential targets and potential threats. Adding to this ever-growing list is the use of the Internet of Things. However, the above-mentioned provisions apply to a greater extent to the members of the mentioned organizations. Therefore, in the future, it seems expedient to voluntarily drafted norms for the safe coexistence of states in the information space in multilateral or bilateral formats. It can also be about signing framework international agreements on establishing general principles for ensuring international security in the information sphere. In the long term, it is advisable to develop a set of obligations regarding the responsible behavior of states and other subjects in the information space. Key words: global information space, information space, information, information society.
