The Peaceful Settlement of Inter-State Cyber Disputes (Online Workshop)

Event Details

While existing international law provides a framework for regulating state conduct in cyberspace and requires the peaceful resolution of cyber incidents, the growing scale and complexity of cyber operations present new challenges, especially as cyberspace increasingly becomes a domain of inter-state conflict and confrontation. This online workshop explores the international law dimensions of inter-state cyber disputes. Through open conversation led by experts in the field and a live Q&A, the workshop will address the challenges posed by cyber incidents in inter-state relations and question whether existing means and methods of dispute settlement can deal adequately with inter-state cyber disputes.

Event convened by Prof. Nicholas Tsagourias, University of Sheffield and Dr Constantinos Yiallourides, Research Leader in the Law of the Sea, BIICL.

This workshop is ideal for legal practitioners, academics, law students, government representatives, policy advisers, civil society, and anyone with an interest in the peaceful settlement of cyber disputes.
