Cyber-armament: Applicability of international law to cyberspace
Dear Colleagues,
DiploFoundation is pleased to invite you to the web discussion: Applicability of international law to cyberspace, taking place Thursday, 7th November 2019, 14:00 CET (13:00 UTC), online.
As cyberspace increasingly gets (mis)used by states for military purposes, international negotiations on rules of behaviour in cyberspace evolve, in particular within the UN context. The web discussion will look into the international rules that are already in place, and the challenges of their applicability.
This webinar is the second in a series of cyber-diplomacy web discussions entitled Cyber-diplomacy web discussions: Better safe than sorry, organised by DiploFoundation with the support of Microsoft. The series will aim to map trends, introduce challenges, clarify open issues in negotiations on rules of behaviour in cyberspace, outline processes where discussions are happening, and explain how all of us can get involved.
