It is not an innovative dimension on the geopolitical space, but surely it is rapidly winning importance in terms of the world9s strategic positions, when we talk about the cyber territory. Although some countries might not have yet the plan and responses for the legal problems that it embraces, that have been some progress across the years in terms of a collective reaction from the international institutions. What the past years reveal to the people that study and investigate cyber defence policies is that international law lacks specific regulations to govern cyberspace. Some years ago, the question was whether if international law was applied to the cyberspace, now the question is how can international law adapt to cyber operations. This dissertation has the goal to discuss how cooperation is the engine to protect the cyberspace, and to make it more democratic. The goal is also to understand what international organizations have been doing to approach international law to this commitment. The analysis will be done in the next chapters regarding some theories and principles.
