4.3 Cyber Warfare and the Use of Drones

The cyber warfare: the IHL's application to the cyber operations (the rules' non-silence: the distinction, proportionality, necessity applying to the cyber means); the classification's questions (the armed attack's threshold — the destructive-effects doctrine); the cyber's special faces (the civilian infrastructure's dual use; the pandemics-and-hospitals' targeting debates; the attribution's difficulty); the Tallinn Manual's scholarship (the process-and-debates); the Nepal link (the Cyber Law course's interface — LAW5705). The drones: the UAVs' warfare (the remote strikes — the targeted killings' era); the legal questions: the platform's lawfulness (the means' neutrality — the drones not prohibited as such); the targeting's law (the distinction-and-proportionality applying —the signature strikes' controversy; the double-tap's faces); the NIAC's transnational scope (the sovereignty's violations); the accountability's questions (the operator's-and-the-chain's responsibility); the exam's balanced line: the technology changes, the principles hold.
