MENINJAU PERANG SIBER: DAPATKAH KONVENSI-KONVENSI HUKUM HUMANITER INTERNASIONAL MENINJAU FENOMENA INI?

Abstract

Cyberwarfare is a form of warfare that cannot be explicitly addressed by existing international law. While most experts agree that legal restrictions should apply to this phenomenon. However, the international community has not been able to reach a consensus on how international humanitarian law (IHL) can be adapted. This article argues that this issue remains unresolved academically. Some passages in the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Convention may indeed be relevant to cyber warfare, but specifically the relevance does not respond to this phenomenon. Many cyberattacks inevitably inflict losses on parties, making these violations more likely to occur in cyber conflicts than in conventional wars. With this in mind, this article also argues that IHL should evolve to encourage the creation of a legal umbrella against cyberwarfare in some situations and provide better guidance.
