网络法域外适用的法理阐释:概念、逻辑与原则

Jurisprudential Interpretation of Extraterritorial Application of Cyber Law:Concepts, Logics and Principles

网络空间的无边界性,是网络法作为国内法的重大域外关联因素,也是网络法域外适用的现实基础。在我国加快推进国内法域外适用理论研究和立法实践的背景下,专门且系统地研究网络法域外适用的核心概念、运行逻辑等基础性问题,既是对传统集中于经济法等领域国内法域外适用研究的变革发展,亦为网络空间法律治理的制度建构提供理论支撑。网络法域外适用中蕴涵着网络法保护自由和国内法效力边界这对核心的矛盾关系,保护私人领域自由有赖于与公共领域的界分,而对私人领域自由的保护可能突破国内法效力的边界,其实质是本国公共领域在网络空间层面向域外延伸,以强化对本国私人领域自由的保护。网络法域外适用理论和实践应当遵循人类命运共同体理念,符合正当性、必要性、礼让性基本原则。

The cyberspace exists across national borders and it thus is a major factor and a basis for extraterritorial application of cyber law. Against the background of rapid development of theoretical research and legislative practice in China, researching the basic problems about core concept and operational logic of the extraterritorial application makes a contribution to the development of economic law applied to the extraterritorial application. This research also provides theoretical support for the construction of cyberspace legal governance. The extraterritorial application is related to the core contradiction between freedom protections and the legal boundary of domestic law. The protection of freedom of private domain depends on the boundary of the public domain, and it may break through the boundary of domestic legal effects. The essential feature of the extraterritorial application is extending the national public domain towards overseas in order to strengthen the protection of the private domain. The theory and practice of the extraterritorial application of cyber law should follow the fundamental purpose of promoting the human community with a shared future and be in line with the basic principles of legitimacy, necessity and comity.
