Abstract:
In this chapter, Louise Arimatsu addresses how cyber conflicts should be classified under international humanitarian law and, most notably, whether cyber conflicts give rise to an international or non-international armed conflict. This inquiry involves consideration of whether cyber attacks satisfy the requirement of "international", "armed" and "attack" for the purpose of international armed conflict. In relation to non-international armed conflict, the key questions are whether cyber groups can be regarded as "organised" and whether cyber conflict can be ever sufficient intensity to trigger international humanitarian law.
