Guest Lecture by Gaurav Kumar Sharma (The ICFAI University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, INDIA)
The Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Gdańsk, is pleased to invite you to a Guest Lecture by Gaurav Kumar Sharma from The ICFAI University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India.
📖 Lecture Topic: “Jurisdictional Issues in Cyberspace”
Jurisdictional issues in cyberspace pose complex legal challenges given the internet’s borderless nature. Traditional principles of territorial jurisdiction often struggle to address cross-border cybercrimes, data breaches, online defamation, and digital contracts. Conflicts arise when determining applicable law, competent courts, and enforcement mechanisms across multiple jurisdictions. Divergent national regulations on data protection, privacy, and intermediary liability further complicate dispute resolution. The absence of uniform global standards and effective international cooperation mechanisms creates enforcement gaps. Addressing these challenges requires harmonisation of laws, strengthened mutual legal assistance frameworks, and adaptive legal doctrines to ensure accountability, protect rights, and maintain digital sovereignty in an interconnected world.
