Analysis Of The Use Of Force In Cyber Attacks From The Perspective Of The Tallinn Handbook

The "Tallinn Manual" as an achievement to trying to regulate the cyber attacks at the first time has attracted lots of attention in International Law.The manual believes a cyber attack to be "use of force" when it causes a rather results as an armed attack which is measured by the factor of “scale and effect”.It is obviously a mistake.Although The Charter of the United Nations does not make a specific category of the word "use of force",but according to the rules of treaty interpretation,and the judgement of the international court of justice(ICJ),it shall be a limited explanation of the word "force".Although the intention of the "Tallinn Manual" to make the cyber attacks as a kind of use of force is not objective,but it provides a new sight for the International Law to have a profound research in regulating cyber space.
