Navigating the Gray Area: A Comprehensive Analysis of Cyber Warfare and its Relationship to the Law of Armed Conflict

Abstract

    This scholarly research delves into the interplay between the realms of cyber hostilities and the norms governing the law of armed conflict. It commences by meticulously defining cyber warfare and expounding upon its multiple forms, including incursions into vital infrastructure, cyber espionage operations, and the deployment of malicious software. Subsequently, the study scrutinizes the legal paradigm that regulates the deployment of military force in the realm of cyberspace, encompassing the United Nations Charter and the Tallinn Manual. Additionally, the paper conducts a thorough examination of the difficulties encountered in the application of the law of armed conflict to the realm of cyber warfare, such as the complicated nature of attributing cyber-attacks and the absence of precise regulations for proportionality. Lastly, the paper proffers constructive recommendations aimed at resolving these challenges and identifies avenues for future research. In sum, the paper endeavors to furnish a comprehensive comprehension of the legal quandaries associated with cyber warfare and possible methods to address them.
