History of Group of Internationalization of Cyberspace 
The present initiative aims to resolve most of the actual legal
problems that are discussed on national and international level.
Internet being transnational by its nature, regulators do accord that
there is a real need for some international legislation. However,
their will of protection of sovereignty does not permit today to find
a global solution. Although, some treaties have been achieved (e.g.
the Cybercrime Treaty of the European Council) or will be achieved
(e.g. the Jurisdiction Convention of the Conference of the Hague), no
international organization does treat Internet and its issues as a
whole. Beneath specific topics like e-signatures or cybercrimes,
there are other issues like the digital divide and the respect of
fundamental freedoms.
