norms and rules --- Interesting and realistic point, but still not a consolation. The international community should strive to achieve binding rules for the behavior of states in the cyberspace, not only because they impose a stronger restrain within the UNO framework (including the UN Security Council) but also inside the constitutional domestic regimes of states. For many countries, an international treaty has a superior hierarchy compared to specific laws and it is only below the Constitution. In these cases the accountability for governments and the rule of law would be also stronger.
