In the past six years, more than 55 countries have begun adopting UNCITRAL's (United National Commission on International Trade Law) Model Laws of 1999 and 2001 regarding the use and validity of e-signatures. Dozens of pieces of legislation and legislative proposals now exist around the world on the subject of e-signatures. While the model laws may look the same on paper, in practice they can vary widely. Finally, you can be certain that your clients are in compliance when using digital signatures. The Center for International Legal Studies, in cooperation with UNCITRAL, has gathered experts in over 25 jurisdictions to analyze the impact of these standards in their respective domestic e-commerce regimes. These experts show how the Model Laws are actually implemented today in each of these countries.

Legislation has been enacted to keep pace with commercial realities, cyber-criminals and unforeseen social consequences, but the ever-evolving nature of new technologies has challenged the capacity of the courts to respond effectively. This book addresses the legal issues relating to the introduction and adoption of various forms of electronic commerce.

The common fallacy regarding cyberspace is that the Internet is a new jurisdiction, in which none of the existing rules and regulations apply. However, all the actors involved in an Internet transaction live in one or more existing jurisdictions, so rather than being unregulated, the Internet is arguably highly regulated. Worse, much of this law and regulation is contradictory and difficult, or impossible, to comply with. This 2004 book takes a global view of the fundamental legal issues raised by the advent of the Internet as an international communications mechanism. Legal and other materials are integrated to support the discussion of how technological, economic and political factors are shaping the law governing the Internet. Global trends in legal issues are addressed and the effectiveness of potential mechanisms for legal change that are applicable to Internet law are also examined. Of interest to students and practitioners in computer and electronic commerce law.

There are a number of inescapable truisms about electronic commerce. First, electronic commerce is here to stay and will be playing an increasing role in the conduct of trade and business both domestically and internationally. In 1999, worldwide business-to-business e-commerce reached $145 billion, with North America accounting for 63 percent ($91 billion in revenue). By 2004, the world-wide number is projected to surpass $6.8 trillion, with North America accounting for only 39 percent ($2.84 trillion. Second, electronic commerce, which makes distances irrelevant and borders invisible, is truly global in nature. Third, the exponential growth in electronic commerce has created a situation where lawmakers cannot ignore the enormous amounts of activity taking place electronically, and are being pressed to exert control over that activity by creating laws governing Internet and other electronic commerce activity. Fourth, given the international nature of electronic commerce, any attempt by a sovereign to exercise its power over electronic commerce will be challenged for creating impermissible barriers to domestic and international trade. These challenges and attacks on attempts by sovereigns to exercise control over Internet activity can readily be seen in cases of recent sovereign efforts ranging from German attempt to control pornography by prosecuting CompuServe,' to actions of the Attorney General of Minnesota in attempting to police gambling, to Utah's legislation in the area of digital signatures. Indeed, an important criterion in the evaluation of local laws on electronic commerce is its impact on and reception at the global level.
