Introduction
In today’s interconnected world, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. With the rise of cyber threats and attacks, governments around the world have recognized the need for international cooperation to combat these threats effectively. One of the ways in which countries have sought to address cybersecurity issues is through the negotiation and implementation of international cybersecurity treaties. These treaties aim to establish norms, rules, and standards for cyberspace, promote cooperation among nations, and enhance the security of critical infrastructure.
Despite the growing number of international cybersecurity treaties, there is a lack of comprehensive research on their effectiveness. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the impact of international cybersecurity treaties on enhancing cybersecurity and promoting international cooperation in cyberspace. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of existing treaties, this research aims to provide insights into how future treaties can be improved to better address the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
