Abstract: The rapid evolution of digital technology and the borderless nature of cyberspace have posed significant challenges for the enforcement of laws across national boundaries. One of the most pressing concerns in this context is the issue of jurisdiction in cross-border cyber crimes. This paper explores the legal complexities, jurisdictional dilemmas, and international legal frameworks associated with prosecuting cyber criminals whose actions transcend geographic borders. It also evaluates case studies, discusses current cooperation mechanisms, and suggests recommendations for harmonizing jurisdictional practices.
