| Summary: | Nowadays, internet has a pivotal role in supporting the right for freedom of
expression; by removing the restrictions of publication, search, and access to
information, it has prepared the ground for the application of this fundamental
right. This new communication tool, like all other social topics, require
organization through development of enforceable rules and regulations.
Undoubtedly, to become effective process, it requires a true knowledge of the
specific characteristics of this media and new communication tools within the
context of the society. In this essay– considering the current state of the internet
and the possible changes that may occur in the short-term and regional and
international experiences (UNESCO and European Council) – we attempted to
identify and introduce some principles for the codification of internet laws and
regulations. It seems that these principles must be regarded in policy making.
