Cybergovernance attempts at protecting information and data as well as the related assets and infrastructure. By way of overcoming a strict national sovereignty approach and of developing globally acceptable principles for the Internet, new substantive concepts for behavioural norms need to be developed. A promising approach consists in the implementation of a broadly interpreted duty of co-operation between the States as a general legal standard. Such an approach appears to be suitable for contributing to a cosmopolitan understanding of common interests leading to an improved cybergovernance and a higher level of Internet integrity.
