| Abstract | ||
| ustomary law forms the basis of international humanitarian law, and is mainly represented by the rules formulated by the International Committee of the Red Cross in the form of international agreements. It struggled to cover most of the circumstances and complexities of armed conflicts, to establish more humanitarian principles that limit the brutality of wars, but these international documents were drawn up a long time ago. (1864 the first a convention in international humanitarian law). Armed conflicts - like other aspects of life - are affected by technological developments that surprise us daily with new inventions, and countries strive to adapt these technologies in the ways and means of armed conflicts, most of which are the use of cyber attacks. The problem that arises in answering the question: Is it possible to apply the rules of international humanitarian law to cyberattacks, even though they were not designed for such operations? Yes, there are general principles in them, but the specificity of these attacks and the complexities and details they contain raise doubts in the answer to this question. Based on the above, a group of jurists and law professors, commissioned by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), developed a guide that includes solutions and answers, when the application of international humanitarian law to these attacks is in doubt. The guide was called (the Tallinn Guide). This research presents Highlighting the Tallinn Manual and its usefulness in addressing cyber attacks. | ||
