This paper explores the legal issues surrounding cyber warfare and its implications for international security. In the contemporary digital age, the rise of cyber threats has introduced new challenges to traditional notions of warfare and state sovereignty. The abstract delves into the complexities of the legal framework attempts to regulate cyber warfare, including the applicability of existing international law, the lack of specific cyber warfare conventions, and the challenges of attribution in cyberspace. It critically examines the role of international organizations and national legal responses to these issues, highlighting the differing perspectives of major powers and the potential for conflict escalation. Furthermore, the paper discusses the importance of trust and cooperation among nations to mitigate the risks of cyber warfare, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive and universally accepted legal framework that addresses the unique aspects of cyber operations. The analysis concludes that while significant progress has been made, there remains a considerable gap in the legal provisions that govern cyber warfare, which poses a substantial threat to global security and stability.
