  • ICANN 因驳回非洲法院裁决支持 AFRINIC 而面临强烈反对
  • • 利益相关者指责其出于政治原因保护 AFRINIC 并破坏当地法律权威

ICANN 的干预引发对区域主权的愤怒

互联网名称与数字地址分配机构(ICANN)正面临尖锐批评,因其在涉及 AFRINIC(该大陆的区域互联网注册管理机构)的持续法律纠纷中公然否认非洲法院的权威。ICANN 的声明声称,承认外国法律裁决——尤其是来自非洲司法管辖区的裁决——可能“破坏多利益相关方互联网治理模式”。

此举被广泛解读为试图保护AFRINIC免于承担责任。在今年早些时候发出的一封信中,ICANN 拒绝了毛里求斯最高法院旨在限制 AFRINIC 在诉讼期间单方面行动的禁令的执行。观察人士认为,这是 ICANN 直接干预主权法律程序的行为——公然不尊重非洲机构和正当程序。

批评者认为,ICANN 的姿态不仅是出于政治动机,而且明显超越了其职权。“这无关互联网治理,而是关乎权力和不受惩罚,”一位利益相关者说道,他提到 ICANN 董事会成员 Göran Marby 以及 Lindqvist 等三方行为体与 AFRINIC 陷入困境的领导层长期保持一致。 另见: AFRINIC董事会面临合法性考验.
