The final article of a special section, "Rethinking Sovereignty," focuses on the fundamental rights of private parties within autonomous Internet law. An examination of how conflicts about domain names within the global address system have been addressed points out the dimensions & complexities of both easy & hard cases. It is contended that an emerging "global civil society" has replaced the older lex mercatoria with a new lex digitalis that has become an autonomous legal system administered by private dispute resolution providers. Although this new system is not restricted by a state-based or international law-based sovereignty regime, it is beginning to exhibit a legal & normative character capable of protecting basic rights. The validity of fundamental rights in an autonomous legal regime is discussed to maintain that the enforceable nature of rights within the Internet comes from both the "fiction of a common core of fundamental principles of civilized nations" & the impact of arbitration decisions which construct a set of fundamental rights within the autonomous legal regime of the Internet.

Die staatenzentrierte internationale Ordnung ist im Wandel begriffen und die Bedeutung von Individuen als völkerrechtliche Akteure nimmt beständig zu. Doch in den meisten Völkerrechtsregimes tritt der Staat zwischen Völkerrecht und Individuen und mediatisiert diese. Im Licht der Humanisierung, wie sie durch aktuelle Resouveränisierungstendenzen qualifiziert wird, liegt mit dieser Arbeit eine grundlegende Neubewertung der Zwischenschaltung des Staates zwischen Individuum und Völkerrecht vor. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, unter Rückgriff auf Lehren, die aus der hohen Effektivität und Legitimität des, die Mediatisierung großteils überwundenen Internet Governance-Regimes gezogen werden können, das optimale völkerrechtliche Regimedesign für die Zukunft herauszuarbeiten. Die Arbeit untersucht zu diesem Zweck, wie mithilfe der funktionalen Analyse die Mediatisierung von Staaten als Standardlösung in völkerrechtlichen Regimes überwunden werden kann. Am Beispiel von Internet Governance werden die Charakteristika eines ?Post-Interposition? Regimes (multistakeholderbasierte Regulierung, nichttraditionelle normative Instrumente und Durchbrechung der Mediatisierung) aufgezeigt und generalisierbare Einsichten für andere Völkerrechtsregimes gewonnen.Die Arbeit schließt mit der Feststellung, dass eine Völkerrechtsordnung, die Mediatisierung als Standard-Setup für völkerrechtliche Akteurszuweisungen überwindet (dabei aber stets dem funktionalen Test genügt, der kontrolliert, dass das Regime in seiner Gesamtheit das Individuum schützt) zu effektiveren und legitimeren normativen Ergebnissen führen kann. ; The state-centric international order is in flux and the role of the individual as an actor in international law is growing. Yet in most international law regimes, states continue to interposition themselves between individuals and international law and mediate between international law and their citizens. Against the background of the regime-transcending paradigm of humanization as qualified by resovereignization, this thesis revisits the interposition of states between individuals and international law. From the normative success, as measured by legitimacy and effectivity, of the most innovative post-interposition regime, Internet Governance Law, this thesis draws lessons for the optimal design ? with a focus on the position of individuals ? of (existing and emerging) international law regimes. Innovatively, this thesis describes how functional analysis of the interposition of states, can have a transformative effect on the international order. In the case study of International Internet Law, an emerging legal regime without ?entrenchment bias? towards mediation of individuals by states, this thesis elaborates all characteristics of a post-interposition regime, including a commitment to multistakeholderism, non-traditional normative instruments and system-wide disintermediation. The case study of International Internet Law validates transcending interposition in international law because the regime?s normative results are both largely legitimate and broadly effective.A post-interposition international law, as qualified by functionalism, is best able to respond to the regulatory challenges of an international order shaped by humanization as qualified by resovereignization by institutionalizing organically an allocation of roles, rights and responsibilities to states and individuals that is likely to lead to more effective and legitimate normative outcomes. ; von Matthias Kettemann ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers ; Graz, Univ., Diss., 2012 ; OeBB ; (VLID)222894

Many books studying the sources of the law and many books studying the Internet law have already been published. This thesis differs from these books: it studies the original sources, not only the state law and the customs; and it is a scientific work and not a practical work. Observations of the Internet law can serve thoughts on the currents and futures continuities and changes of the sources of the law. Studying this young and special law is like studying an example of global law and postmodern law, revealing the specifics of the law of tomorrow, when the modern law centered on the state will be replaced by a different law, whose properties gather those of the Internet. Gradually, the conventional sources are substituted by new sources. This thesis wants to be a witness of these changes in the sources of the law.The Internet has changed time and space. It transformed the Earth, humanity, life and society. The law has probably changed too. In terms of positive law, the Internet law only shares some characteristics with the ordinary laws of the twentieth century. In terms of legal science and legal thought, lawyers should perhaps avoid analyzing the law of tomorrow with tools and lessons from yesterday. Studying the Internet law invites to build new tools and frameworks in order to describe and explain as accurately as possible the reality of the law. These problems led to the writing of this book. By focusing on specific legal objects that reflect the twenty-first century law, it wants to promote the understanding and the acceptance of changes in the law. Specifically, the objective is to contribute to the renovation of the sources of the law thought when the modern theory appears increasingly archaic because the number, the identity, the architecture and the balance of the sources is permanently evolving. Firstly, maybe it should now be considered that the distinction between public sources and private sources is the summa divisio of the sources of the law. ; Le renouvellement des sources du droit peut être ...
