Cyber Wars (Reality – Challenges) In light of international humanitarian law (I.H.L.)
Abstract
The research dealt with a very important topic, as it discussed the danger of cyber warfare and the problems resulting from it. The problem dealt with the extent to which cyber warfare is subject to international humanitarian rules (I.H.L) and the consequences thereof. The descriptive and analytical approaches were used in this research. The research reached several results, the most important of which are: that cyber warfare leads to significant damage that negatively affects the infrastructure of countries. Also, after cyber warfare has become an important factor in the security and strength of countries, cyber warfare has become increasingly common. The research reached several recommendations, the most important of which is seeking to review international humanitarian rules, with the aim of ensuring the safety of civilians, seeking to conclude international agreements concerned with applying humanitarian law to cyber warfare, and cooperation between countries in identifying perpetrators of cyber attacks.
