Abstrakt

This paper examines the profound challenges facing the principle of distinction in cyber warfare and contextualizes the nature of this new battlefield. The author emphasizes the importance of reaching consensus on the characterization of cyber operations as „attacks," regardless of their physical or non-physical effects, to ensure the continued relevance of the distinction principle; he also highlights the need for comprehensive legal frameworks tailored to the nuances of cyberspace and the urgent need to bridge the gap between traditional international humanitarian law and the unique challenges posed by digital conflict.  In addition, this paper addresses the compliance of Russian cyberattacks against Ukraine with the principle of distinction, highlighting the urgent need to examine the application of IHL in real-world cyber conflicts.
