Abstract

Cyber warfare is a timely and relevant issue and one of the most controversial in international humanitarian law (IHL). The aim of IHL is to set rules and limits in terms of means and methods of warfare. In this context, a key question arises: Has digital warfare rules or limits, and if so, how are these applicable? Traditional principles, developed over a long period, are facing a new dimension of challenges due to the rise of cyber warfare. This paper argues that to overcome this new issue, it is critical that new humanity-oriented approaches is developed with regard to cyber warfare. The challenge is to establish a legal regime for cyber-attacks, successfully addressing human rights norms and standards. While clarifying this from a legal perspective, the authors can redesign the sensitive equilibrium between humanity and military necessity, weighing the humanitarian aims of IHL and the protection of civilians—in combination with international human rights law and other relevant legal regimes—in a different manner than before.

网络战与国际人道法的“人性化”
网络战争是国际人道法中一个具有时代性和相关性的问题,也是争议最大的问题之一。国际人道法的目的是在作战手段和方法方面制定规则和限制。在这种情况下,一个关键问题出现了:数字战争是否有规则或限制,如果有,这些规则如何适用?由于网络战的兴起,经过长期发展的传统原则正面临着新的挑战。本文认为,为了克服这一新问题,在网络战方面开发新的以人为本的方法至关重要。挑战在于建立一个针对网络攻击的法律制度,成功地处理人权规范和标准。在从法律角度澄清这一点的同时,作者可以重新设计人道主义与军事必要性之间的敏感平衡,以一种不同于以往的方式,结合国际人权法和其他相关法律制度,权衡国际人道法的人道主义目标和保护平民。
