Abstract
This paper examined the use and protection of rights in cyberspace. The
exercise of rights in cyberspace is as a result of the activities of
cyberization spearheaded by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Accordingly, the
adoption of various aspects of reality, into digitalized formats, has not only
created another dimension for transacting, executing rights, it has created a
fresh epicenter for social media menace and abusive practices. Following this,
the State’s duty to protect, now possesses a cyber aspect that is
jurisprudentially embodied in cyber laws and cyber security regulations.
Therefore, this work adopts the doctrinal research methodology for assessing
safety and security concerns as it relates to the exercise of human rights in
cyberspace. Bearing the above in mind, focus is placed on the protection of
ownership and possession of exclusive rights, thereby ensuring the legal basis
of activities so performed on cyber platforms and the stoppage of criminality.
States are then encouraged to take practical steps towards ensuring the
guarantee of human rights protection in cyberspace. The research more so
emphasized that it is fundamental to ensure that cybersecurity laws and
regulations adopted by governments are practicable enough to deal with the
challenges and complexities of cybercrime.
