Rättsläget som det ser ut just nu är baserat på doktrin och sekundärrätt, där vikt läggs vid den tekniska bevisningen för att Attributing internationally wrongful acts to a particular State and liability is a complex problem in international law. The already unclear legal situation is further complicated when aspects of cyber operations are introduced with the rapid global technological development. To hold a State liable for the actions of non-State actors in cyberspace, we can only use secondary law and doctrine. The l

Efterfrågan på förnybar energi är stor och samtidigt minskar den biologiska mångfalden i en aldrig tidigare skådad takt, med förlust av arter och livsmiljöer. Havsbaserad vindkraft ger förnybar energi och påverkar samtidigt lokal marin biologisk mångfald – negativt och positivt. Havsbaserade vindkraftsparker bidrar till effekter såsom undervattensbuller, resuspension och pålagring av sediment, förThe demand for renewable energy is extensive while biodiversity is reclining with unprecedented rates of species and habitat loss. Offshore wind power provides renewable energy while also affecting local marine biodiversity – negatively and positively. The offshore wind power plants contribute to effects such as underwater noise, resuspension and settling of sediment, seabed habitat loss, reef eff
