Cyber weapons and cyber warfare have become one of the most
dangerous innovations of recent years, and a significant threat to
national security. Cyber weapons can imperil economic, political,
and military systems by a single act, or by multifaceted orders of
effect, with wide-ranging potential consequences. Unlike past forms
of warfare circumscribed by centuries of just war tradition and Law
of Armed Conflict prohibitions, cyber warfare occupies a
particularly ambiguous status in the conventions of the laws of
war. Furthermore, cyber attacks put immense pressure on
conventional notions of sovereignty, and the moral and legal
doctrines that were developed to regulate them. This book, written
by an unrivalled set of experts, assists in proactively addressing
the ethical and legal issues that surround cyber warfare by
considering, first, whether the Laws of Armed Conflict apply to
cyberspace just as they do to traditional warfare, and second, the
ethical position of cyber warfare against the background of our
generally recognized moral traditions in armed conflict. The book
explores these moral and legal issues in three categories. First,
it addresses foundational questions regarding cyber attacks. What
are they and what does it mean to talk about a cyber war? The book
presents alternative views concerning whether the laws of war
should apply, or whether transnational criminal law or some other
peacetime framework is more appropriate, or if there is a tipping
point that enables the laws of war to be used. Secondly, it
examines the key principles of jus in bello to determine how they
might be applied to cyber-conflicts, in particular those of
proportionality and necessity. It also investigates the distinction
between civilian and combatant in this context, and studies the
level of causation necessary to elicit a response, looking at the
notion of a 'proximate cause'. Finally, it analyses the specific
operational realities implicated by particular regulatory regimes.
This book is unmissable reading for anyone interested in the impact
of cyber warfare on international law and the laws of war.
