The international community agrees that international law applies in cyberspace. But how does it apply? Interpreting established concepts of international law such as sovereignty, countermeasures, military objectives or proportionality in the novel context of cyberspace can be particularly challenging. In this panel discussion, the editors of the Cyber Law Toolkit, an interactive resource on international law and cyber operations, introduce some of the pressing legal questions raised by the hostile uses of information and communications technologies. The 2022/23 annual update of the Toolkit will be launched at the event, which will also include a practical demonstration of the platform.
