Safe processing of computer information and issues of the international lawmaking

He article highlights the problems of international lawmaking on ensuring safe circulation of computer information. Based on the analysis of international legal documents regulating the legal basis of access to information, the conclusion is made that they have lost their relevance, because they contradict the national security interests of states, including Russia. It is suggested to replace the international principle of «freedom of access to information» with the «information nondiscrimination» principle, which meets the modern political realities and interests of the Russian Federation. Every state should have the right to limit its informational space from the outside impact. In this case another state should have the right to exercise a proportionate response; acts of unauthorized access to the state’s information space should be qualified as unlawful acts against information security inside the country. The article also grounds the author’s position according to which the national criminal law should be considered as a leading form of fighting against this kind of crimes since it is most relevant to the current criminal situation in this sphere, as well as to interests of the state and society.
