Cyber space and information-communication technologies are an important topic of the 21st century. Cyber crimes and cyber threats in general are one of the important challenges of today. This paper analyzes the main characteristics of cyberspace. Special emphasis is given to the Convention of the Council of Europe on cyber crime (Budapest Convention) as the first international agreement that prohibits certain actions on computer systems. This convention, which was signed in 2001 and entered into force in 2004, aims to facilitate the harmonization of the laws of the contracting states in the field of combating cyber crime. It’s role is to facilitate international cooperation in investigations and criminal matters, also. Analyzing the other initiatives at the regional and global level, we will try to answer the question to which segment of this topic is regulated by international public law, why this document is still current and important, and we will also try to predict in which direction the development of international rules will continue rise to the issue of information and communication technologies.
