The Internet & information & communication technology (ICT) are supraterritorial mechanisms for communication. These technologies transform human interactions socially, economically, & politically. Being supranational entities, the Internet & ICT require supraterritorial mechanisms for organization & regulation. Legal mechanisms must adjust to the challenges presented by such scientific developments as older notions of geographic territoriality are rendered ineffective. Remedies to such supraterritorial developments imply the need for concerted global efforts. These include such solutions as international harmonization, the formulation of international treaties, & forums in which to regulate Internet & ICT policies internationally. Additionally, it is absolutely essential that such supraterritorial forums & treaties ensure the preservation of fundamental human rights & freedoms for those individuals engaging in cyberspace. Most specifically, commitments to freedom of expression & the right to privacy must be paramount in such Internet & ICT governance, in order to ensure the authenticity of purpose towards the higher achievement of human communication, information, & creativity.
