    Prepared by the ICC commission on : Digital Economy
    Publication date : 15/06/2006 | Document Number : 373/472

    ICC has been one of the principal voices of international business on data protection, security and associated Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)-policy issues since the early 1970s.

    Moreover, ICC has similar substantial experience in dealing with issues of jurisdiction, liability, and corporate governance. This breadth and depth of involvement gives ICC a unique perspective on the evolution of laws and public policy that affect the way companies use and process information and personal data.

    Since the mid-1990s, ICC has observed a significant change in the number, nature and content of ICT-related legal requirements. In addition to the more traditional laws addressing ICT-specific issues (privacy laws, e-contracting laws, e-signature laws etc), requirements affecting companies’ ICT deployment are today spreading over many different types of legislation: environment laws, labor laws, tax laws, corporate governance laws, anti-terrorism laws, anti money-laundering laws, sectoral laws, supply chain compliance laws, consumer protection laws, financial stability laws etc.
