The Prohibition On Intervention Under International Law And Cyber Operations, Ori Pomson
The Prohibition On Intervention Under International Law And Cyber Operations, Ori Pomson
International Law Studies
Given that cyber technologies have made way for attempts to influence the affairs of other States in novel and unique ways, scholars have turned to the international legal rule which is prima facie most relevant in addressing such meddling; namely, the prohibition on intervention. Moreover, there appears to be quite a wide-ranging consensus in scholarship that the prohibition on intervention applies to a broad range of cyber operations. In contrast to such scholarship, this article argues that, under the lex lata, the prohibition on intervention only applies to acts amounting to a use of force or constituting support for …
Targeting A Satellite: Contrasting Considerations Between The Jus Ad Bellum And The Jus In Bello, Hitoshi Nasu
Targeting A Satellite: Contrasting Considerations Between The Jus Ad Bellum And The Jus In Bello, Hitoshi Nasu
International Law Studies
With the development and greater availability of counter-space capabilities, satellites are becoming a prime target of military threats. However, the legal assessment for the targeting of a satellite requires careful analysis because of its impacts on terrestrial activities and the potential to affect the rights and interests of third parties when their payloads are carried by the targeted satellite. With these two unique characteristics in mind, this article unravels the complexity of international legal regimes applicable to military operations conducted against a satellite by contrasting threshold legal considerations necessary for the identification and application of relevant legal requirements under the …
The Un Security Council And The Saga Of “Global Legislation”, Gadi Ezra
The Un Security Council And The Saga Of “Global Legislation”, Gadi Ezra
International Law Studies
The release of the UN Security Council from the “veto chains” that characterized the Cold War has led it to intensively engage in a wide spectrum of conflicts and issues. This expanded activity has peaked around its “global legislation” attempts. Although often used in the legal literature, this term is vague and contested. Scholarly work occasionally discusses the Council’s alleged global legislation, but without initially offering a proper working definition of the term. Arguments both for and against are frequently laid incoherently and can roughly be divided into two types: those assessing the Council’s authority to engage in global legislation, …

Does The Revised U.S. South China Sea Policy Go Far Enough?, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo
Does The Revised U.S. South China Sea Policy Go Far Enough?, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo
International Law Studies
The United States issued a statement on July 13, 2020, outlining the U.S. Position on Maritime Claims in the South China Sea. The statement supplements existing U.S. policy for the South China Sea, making clear that the People’s Republic of China’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are unlawful. Still, the revised U.S. policy does not go far enough to contest China's faulty claims in the South China Sea. This article proposes specific issues that the revised U.S. policy should address.
Cyber Peacekeeping Operations And The Regulation Of The Use Of Lethal Force, Nicholas Tsagourias, Giacomo Biggio
Cyber Peacekeeping Operations And The Regulation Of The Use Of Lethal Force, Nicholas Tsagourias, Giacomo Biggio
International Law Studies
Peacekeeping is an essential tool at the disposal of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security. The growing relevance of cyber technologies presents itself as an opportunity to adapt peacekeeping to the challenges of a rapidly evolving security landscape. This article introduces the notion of "cyber-peacekeeping," defined as the incorporation and use of cyber capabilities by peacekeepers. It discusses the legal basis for cyber-peacekeeping and the foundational principles of consent, impartiality, and use of defensive force. The article examines the use of lethal force by cyber-peacekeepers under the law of armed conflict paradigm. It considers the …
Drawing The Cyber Baseline: The Applicability Of Existing International Law To The Governance Of Information And Communication Technologies, Dapo Akande, Antonio Coco, Talita De Souza Dias
Drawing The Cyber Baseline: The Applicability Of Existing International Law To The Governance Of Information And Communication Technologies, Dapo Akande, Antonio Coco, Talita De Souza Dias
International Law Studies
"Cyberspace" is often treated as a new domain of State activity in international legal discourse. This has led to the assumption that for international law to apply to cyber operations carried out by States or non-State actors, "cyber-specific" State practice and opinio juris must be demonstrated. This article challenges that assumption on five different bases. First, it argues that rules of general international law are generally applicable to all domains, areas, or types of State activity. In their interpretation and application to purported new domains, limitations to their scope of application cannot be presumed. Second, this article demonstrates that the …
