Description
This course only meets in person on February 6-7 and 27-28. There will be required reading assignments and weekly submissions prior to the first meeting date.
This course is an introduction to how international law applies to hostile cyber activities by States and non-State actors during armed conflict. Topics addressed range from cyber attack to characterization of persons taking part in armed conflict. The course draws on the Tallinn Manual 2.0 project, which resulted in a restatement of the law drafted over seven years by an international group of experts. The instructor was one of the Experts that wrote the Manual.
