| Inhalt | The advent of the internet and digital technologies has revolutionized global interactions. While offering unprecedented opportunities, this poses complex challenges for international law. Issues such as transboundary data flows, the emergence of powerful non-state actors like digital platforms, and a rapidly evolving threat landscape encompassing cybercrime and cyberwarfare challenge traditional notions of territory and sovereignty rooted in the Westphalian system. This course explores how foundational principles of international law—ranging from jurisdiction and human rights to the prohibition of the use of force—are applied, and at times require recalibration, in the context of cyberspace. We will critically examine new regulatory frameworks at regional and international levels, including the EU’s leadership in regulating digital tools, private sector initiatives such as the Meta Oversight Board to uphold human rights online, and global efforts to govern and regulate artificial intelligence. Through these discussions, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the evolving role of international law in addressing the legal and policy challenges of the digital age. |
| Lernziele | - To understand the main challenges digitality poses to international law; - To be familiar with the discussions about how general concepts and principles of international law can be transposed to cyberspace, including cyberwar; - To have an overview of the most relevant regulatory responses. |
