Time for an International Law on Cyber Conflicts
26.03.2013
In cyberspace, the line between peace and war becomes blurred. At the same time the protection of the network infrastructure is becoming one of the key strategic objectives in the area of national security. Cyberspace can be used for a terrorist attack or an attack on a scale comparable with a military attack, but there is no treaty relating to military operations in cyberspace. The development of an international convention relating to cyberspace is in the interests of the international community.
