Original Title:
Internet Censorship under World Trade Organization Law
Translated title:
Internet Censorship under WTO Law
Summary:
To impose censorship is a final act of total control. As delicately explained in the Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science (Vol. 62), censorship does not suddenly bloom or make an appearance where it had not existed before. Internet censorship, in particular, which is inextricably linked with the innovation of web, is an undeniably complicated regime, both technologically and legally. However, the issue of censorship cannot be seen in its true extent until the matter of its effects on trade is clarified, and this effect on trade cannot be clarified until WTO Member States realize that the legal, systemic treatment of trade in services, albeit progressively liberalized, remains vaguely structured and indefinite in its scope. In light of the above, the present paper reviews the connection, interaction and interplay existing between Internet censorship and trade in services, as this issue has arisen apropos the accession of the People’s Republic of China to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
