Marshall Islands
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
No comprehensive cybercrime statute has been enacted. The Marshall Islands Criminal Code of 2011 contains minimal provisions (Article 250 addresses privacy violations such as unlawful surveillance; Article 224 covers general forgery) but no general computer-access offence. A Cybercrime Bill has been in development since approximately 2019 but remains unenacted as of May 2026. There is no data-protection law. Copyright relies on very thin domestic legislation — the Unauthorized Copies of Recorded Materials Act 1991 covers only audio-visual works and sound recordings; there is no stand-alone copyright statute and the Marshall Islands is not a party to the Berne Convention or any copyright treaty, leaving broad works unprotected domestically. There is no sui generis database right and no TDM exception. Web-crawling law is effectively unaddressed.
