Force the case for governing cyber-attacks - Fadelah A. al sabah

In this book, I will consider the prohibition on the use of force in the context of cyber-attacks (in a broadly defined

sense) during peacetime. I will argue that the prohibition on the use of force under Article 2(4) of the United Na-

tions Charter is insufficient to regulate the rising phenom-

enon of cyber-attacks and a bespoke framework for this

phenomenon is required.I will further consider whether

cyber-attacks are subject to international law. This book's

central contention is that the existing jus ad bellum is in-

adequate to govern cyber-attacks as this phenomenon

presents a challenge that is too complex for the orthodox jus ad bellum analysis.
