Description
Summary:The article focuses on the analyses of the problem of legal regulation of cyberspace conflicts. The authors discuss about eventual legal qualifications of cyber warfare, underlining two main issues: first, the fact that cyber warfare cannot be considered as an act of the aggression according to the definition introduced by the UN Resolution; and, second, that it is widely considered that cyber warfare is more than an criminal act incriminated by national legislation. Having this in mind, the authors discuss about possibility of applying some of the established international treaty systems (International Law of War, International Space Law, Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Antarctic Treaty System, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Mutual legal assistance treaties) as models for regulating cyberspace. Članak je posvećen razmatranju problema pravne neregulisanosti konflikata u kiber prostoru. Autori raspravljaju o mogućim pravnim kvalifikacijama čina kiber ratovanja, ukazujući da se on ne može podvesti pod definiciju agresije usvojenu u rezoluciji Ujedinjenih nacija, ali da je ipak nedovoljno karakterisati ga kao krivično delo kažnjivo po odredbama nacionalnih zakonodavstava. U centralnom delu rada autori analiziraju nekoliko međunarodnih ugovornih režima: međunarodno ratno pravo, Sporazum o neširenju nuklearnog naoružanja, međunarodno kosmičko pravo, Sistem antarktičke povelje, Konvenciju Ujedinjenih nacija o pravu mora i ugovore o uzajamnoj pravnoj saradnji, kako bi utvrdili da li oni mogu služiti kao model za regulisanje međudržavnih konflikata u kiber prostoru.
