What is it about?
This article addresses the problem of international law enforcement within the War on Cyberterrorism. Hybrid conflicts have replaced the traditional ones, and new threats have emerged in cyberspace, which has become a virtual battlefield. Cyber threats - cybercrimes, cyberterrorism, cyberwarfare - are a major concern for Western governments, especially for the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The international community has begun to consider cyberattacks as a form of terrorism, to which the same measures apply. This paper addresses the question of whether or not current laws of war and international humanitarian law apply to cyber domain

Why is it important?
In this paper, we have assessed whether human rights law and the law of war, which are a branch of international law, apply to the War on Cyberterrorism. In my opinion the problem lies in international customary law. I think that the customary law that is being formed recently is contrary to the principles established by IHL, that is binding for all states.
