Den internationella arenan domineras av stater. Staters existens är befäst i sedvanerätten genom Montevideokonventionen. Det har dock i ivern att hålla sig fast vid denna uppstått en uppfattning om att de kriterierna som krävs för att något kan anses vara en stat, också blir gällande e contrario i hänsyn till när stater ska anses upphöra att existera. En av de fyra kriterierna är kriteriet om terrThe global arena is dominated by states. The existence of a state is regulated in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights of States. There does however seem, that in the desire to follow this convention, a definitive opinion that states losing one of the criteria set up by the convention, also means losing their stateship, as a Montevideo Convention e contrario, if you will. One of these four crit

Idag är många av staters bärande samhällsfunktioner digitaliserade. En fientlig aktör kan således genom cybermedel orsaka skador för en stat i en grad som förr endast var möjlig genom fysiska medel. Krigsföring har således fått en ny arena, men det är ännu oklart under vilka förutsättningar en utsatt stat får bruka våld i självförsvar mot en cyberattack. I internationell rätt finns ett allmänt vMany of society’s bearing functions are today digitalized. A hostile actor can therefore through cyber-attacks cause damage to a state in a degree previously possible only through physical attacks. Therefore, warfare has entered a new arena, but it is still unclear under which circumstances a state under attack is allowed to use force in self-defence against cyber-attacks. International law stat
