Abstract: The article addresses some aspects of the key challenges for legal
reality and legal systems in the digital age with a focus on jurisdictional
issues in special attention to cyberspace, given its independent value and
self-regulatory nature. The article suggests that regarding issues through the
prism of a universal human rights approach could be a pillar for resolving
existing and potential digital conflicts, prevent cybercrimes. The general
legal framework in light of this approach is proposed here. The article
discusses scenarios for solving jurisdictional problems: (i) global—focuses
on the idea that a single worldwide legal framework and a universal
regulation mechanism are possible; (ii) fragmented—partly considers the
possibility of a single legal framework (or a set of agreements) and rely
mainly on regional mechanisms; and (iii) national—each legal system is
capable of providing and effective response to the threats of the digital age
and aligns its legislation and judicial practice with the latter. Finally, it is
suggested to focus on the prevention and mitigation of negative
consequences of the activities of all subjects of law.

Resumen: El artículo aborda algunos aspectos de los desafíos clave que
enfrenta la realidad jurídica y los sistemas legales en la era digital con
enfoque en las cuestiones jurisdiccionales, prestando especial atención al
ciberespacio, dado su valor independiente y su naturaleza autorreguladora.
El artículo sugiere que abordar los problemas a través del prisma de los
derechos humanos universales podría ser un pilar para resolver los
conflictos digitales existentes y potenciales, así como prevenir los delitos
cibernéticos. A la luz de este enfoque, aquí se propone un marco legal
general. El artículo discute escenarios para resolver los problemas
jurisdiccionales: (i) global, el cual se centra en la idea de la posibilidad de
un marco legal mundial único y un mecanismo de regulación universal; (ii)
fragmentado, que en parte considera la posibilidad de un marco legal único
(o un conjunto de acuerdos), basado principalmente en mecanismos
regionales; y (iii) nacional, en el que cada sistema jurídico nacional es
capaz de proporcionar una respuesta eficaz a las amenazas de la era digital
y alinea a esta su legislación y práctica judicial. Por último, se sugiere
centrarse en la prevención y mitigación de las consecuencias negativas de
las actividades de los sujetos de derecho.

I. INTRODUCTION: KEY CHALLENGES FOR LEGAL SYSTEMS IN
THE DIGITAL AGE
In the digital era, fundamental changes are taking place –in legal
reality, in society as a whole, and in the life of every person, in particular–.
A significant part of the activities of all subjects of law occurs in cyberspace
or is closely related to the use of information technologies. Today’s
technologies are the product of a reality digitalization and often the usability
process is made possible thanks to telecommunications systems and
