La tutela dei diritti fondamentali nel contesto cibernetico. Profili di diritto interno, internazionale e dell'Unione europea

The main goal of this research is to define a complete human rights framework which could be relevant in the context of cyberspace, therefore to analyze how this kind of rights are enforced and protected under European Union law. Furthermore, my thesis would like to underline any deficit of the European legislation in this respect, thus proposing any improvements to guarantee effective enforcement of the human rights framework in the context of cyberspace. The first part of the thesis aims to address a preliminary issue, namely what is cyberspace and how this new ‘environment’ can be defined. Furthermore, to evaluate the actual human rights enforcement in this context, it is necessary to answer a very important question: what rules should govern cyberspace? In other words, the thesis intends to analyze the topic of cyber governance, with the purpose of individuating what entities can establish their rules over this new domain. The second introduces the several human rights relevant into the cyberspace, proposing also a complete analysis of each one of them, to evaluate their effectiveness and enforcement.
