Abstract:
The increasing use of ICTs for commercial and
administration activities, specifically in an Internet
environment, requires laws and regulations to address a
set of issues, such as the legal validity of electronic
documents, e-signature, privacy, intellectual property
rights, cybercrime, and building trust. This would
require harmonized legal frameworks enabling
international interoperability, for ICT itself, as well as
systems for fighting the misuse of ICT for illegal and
fraudulent purposes and providing ICT users worldwide
protection regardless of their physical location.
This paper describes the concerns regarding related
laws and regulations for eGovernment service provision
at the national level for the Republic of the Union of
Myanmar and the harmonization between Myanmar
eGovernment Legal Framework and the Common Legal
Framework for the ASEAN eGovernment which is being
developed. It also provides an overview of the main
aspects, actors and the working context of the Myanmar
eGovernment Legal Framework Development.
