In the Wales Summit Declaration on 5 September 2014 and the Warsaw Summit Declaration on 9 July 2016, NATO recognized that international law, including international humanitarian law and the UN Charter, applies in cyberspace and recognized cyberspace as a domain of operations in which NATO must defend itself as effectively as it does in the air, on land, and at sea. This master thesis work aims examine whether collective self-defense clauses of Article 5 of the NATO Treaty and the Article 51 of the UN Charter are applicable in the modern international law. Consequently, this work comes to conclusion that modern international law is not able to adequately regulate of legal relations in the field of collective self-defense in the case of cyberattacks. NATO should adopt a new treaty regarding self-defense in the case of cyberattacks. |
