1/8 How do States understand int& #39;l law applies in cyberspace? As OAS Juridical Committee Special Rapporteur, I& #39;ve been asking Member States that question and my latest report surveying 8 responses is now online: http://www.oas.org/en/sla/iajc/docs/CJI_doc_603-20_rev1.pdf">https://www.oas.org/en/sla/ia...
2/8 My project is all about transparency (not codification); getting States to take positions on what are cyber "attacks" for both the jus ad bellum and jus in bello; how "control" over non-state actors works & whether sov& #39;ty & due diligence operate as constraining rules in cyber
3/8 To date, I& #39;ve gotten substantive responses from Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, & Peru; the US referenced earlier official statements & speeches while Brazil deferred to its work in the #UNGGE
4/8 In addition to their substance, several responses call attention to the need for more capacity building in this area; making sure foreign ministry lawyers understand not just the technical capacity of cyber ops, but also the relevant legal issues they raise
5/8 The goal is improving our understanding of where state views converge (and, just as importantly, diverge) as a way to avoid inadvertent escalations and provide grounds for further dialogue. As such, it& #39;s meant to be complimentary to #UNOEWG and #UNGGE efforts
6/8 It also adds additional perspectives to recent official statements and speeches from the Australia, Estonia, France, Germany, Netherlands, the UK, & the US that& #39;ve already garnered a fair bit of attention: https://www.thehaguecybernorms.nl/research-and-publication-posts/application-of-international-law-to-cyber-operations-a-comparative-analysis-of-states-views">https://www.thehaguecybernorms.nl/research-...
7/8 I& #39;d also hope it may also help inform new efforts like Australia and Mexico& #39;s call for national implementation statements re the 2015 UNGGE norms. @iMoralesTenorio @_JohannaWeaver
