Description
Under public international law, states are generally confined to exercising enforcement jurisdiction within their own territory. This thesis examines whether, and if so in which situations, domestic law-enforcement authorities are permitted to exercise digital enforcement jurisdiction across borders. The need for such enforcement arises from the fact that important
evidence is often stored electronically on servers located outside a state’s own territory. The thesis examines this from three perspectives: principles of public international law, treaties and national approaches. The findings show that digital enforcement across borders may infringe the sovereignty of other states, but that it is permissible in certain situations, for example where this follows from a treaty provision or customary international law. For example, cross-border gathering of publicly available data appears to be permitted under customary international law, and other forms of digital cross-border enforcement are accepted within specific treaty frameworks.
