The Fundamental Principles of Global Communications Law: Common Heritage

Global communications law is a transnational law, the vast majority of which is developed outside the governments and essentially is seeking synchronization, not uniformity. This article tries to answer the questions of how global communications law affects national and territorial law. What are the decisions of governments against it’s effects and consequences? What are the actions that are being taken and how the resistance to the global communications law would be conducted? And based on what reasons and logic the resistance is observed? The results of this study indicate that the phenomenon of globalization and the formation of universal norms have an impact on legal systems. In other words, globalization has made legal systems vulnerable to the penetration of foreign norms and has made them vulnerable to coping and resisting to this phenomenon. Also, the globalization, have made legal systems to compete with each other, in such a way as to reveal the differences, similarities, strengths, and weaknesses of each, and it has led governments to coordinate their norms instead of confronting this phenomenon.
