Announcement: Sovereignty and Non-Intervention Event – State Cyberattacks; CfP Conference of the Postgraduate and Early Professionals/Academics Network of the Society of International Economic Law

1. Sovereignty and Non-Intervention: The Application of International Law to State Cyberattacks. This event will take place on Wednesday 4 December 2019 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm at Chatham House, 10 St James’s Square, London, SW1Y 4LE. International law applies to cyber operations – but views differ on exactly how. Does state-sponsored interference in another state’s affairs using cyber means – for example,  disinformation campaigns in elections, disabling government websites, or disrupting transport systems – breach international law? If so, on what basis and how are the principles of sovereignty and non-intervention relevant? This event will bring together a broad group of actors, including policymakers, the private sector, legal experts and civil society, and will be followed by a drinks reception. For more information, and to register interest, see here. The event will be chaired by Elizabeth Wilmshurst, Distinguished Fellow, International Law Programme, Chatham House.
