Abstract

This article aims to study problems on the enforcement of state jurisdiction in international law over the offences occur in cyberspace. As the territory does not exist on a certain physical aspect, offences committed are therefore connected to nations worldwide, which renders these acts as international and the enforcement of state jurisdiction over such acts are therefore in accordance with international law principles. However, the concepts of enforcing state jurisdiction in the present are tied to physical terrain which, in turn, causes problems of enforcing state jurisdiction over cyberspace. Due to these reasons, the writer has studied the enforcement of state jurisdiction in accordance with international law principles to analyze the different problems when enforcing jurisdiction over offences committed on cyberspace, especially cyberterrorism, as they are cyber threats towards international stability and security. The result of the studies show that using the principle of protective jurisdiction over cyberterrorism appropriately assists the conflicts that occur. In any event, the writer recommends that cyberterrorism should be clearly defined in domestic legislations to support the enforcement of state jurisdiction over these offences efficiently.
