Description

Total length of the course: <1 hour

How does international law apply to cyber operations? In this conversation, we start with the basics of what international law is, how it differs from "mere" norms, and trace several key attempts to apply international legal principles to interstate cyber operations. We hear from a researcher who has spent their career at the intersection of law and cyber conflict, before asking honestly how well existing efforts have worked and whether tools like sanctions, indictments, and arbitration can ever really hold cyber actors to account.
