This thesis will examine the application of international law to state-to-state cyber operations to determine whether such operations constitute a breach of international law and thus attract responsibility. The scope of consideration of primary rules will be limited to discussion of the so-called 'fundamental rights of states', that is, rights that are inherent in statehood, or the theory of rights that a state possesses by virtue of being a state alone, and not rights that exist only once the state has contracted for them. In that sense, the rights that inhere in statehood are fundamental because they are foundational, emerging from the foundation of the state. The thesis will aim to anchor the interpretation and application of rules of international law to cyber operations in practical case scenarios, both hypothetical and real.The theory of fundamental rights and duties has no exact identification or distinction, though the 'generally accepted... common core' relate to independence, sovereignty, equality and the self-preservation of states. The thesis will examine the principles of sovereignty, non-intervention and self-determination and their applicability to cyber operations. The thesis hopes to draw on a deep understanding of the applicable rules in a non-cyber context and current state practice to challenge the basis of more specific interpretations of those rules to cyber operations asserted by some states and authors.This thesis addresses these deficiencies in the literature and complements existing research on the application of international law to cyber operations. Modern developments including the increased role of non-state actors enabled by advances in technology in cyber operations raise difficult issues of interpreting primary rules to apply to a new area of operations that remain insufficiently explored in light of these challenges and has not been given significant attention in the existing literature. Specifically, this thesis offers a critical analysis of interpretations of primary rules in light of the positions of states and existing state practice supported by case studies and hypothetical scenarios to provide a detailed evaluation of primary rules lex lata to cyber operations.The research aligns most closely to the 'Global Uncertainties' EPSRC's strategies and research area. There are no companies or collaborators involved in the research.

本文将探讨国际法在国与国网络行动中的应用，以确定此类行动是否构成违反国际法的行为，从而引起责任。主要规则的审议范围将限于讨论所谓的“国家的基本权利”，即国家所固有的权利，或国家仅因作为国家而拥有的权利的理论，而不是只有在国家为之订立契约时才存在的权利。从这个意义上说，国家固有的权利是根本性的，因为它们是基础性的，产生于国家的基础。本文旨在锚的解释和国际法规则的网络行动在实际情况下的应用场景，无论是假设的和真实的。基本权利和义务的理论没有确切的识别或区分，虽然“普遍接受的”，但它是一个基本的权利和义务的概念。“共同核心”涉及国家的独立、主权、平等和自我保护。本论文将研究主权、不干涉和自决原则及其对网络行动的适用性。本文希望通过对非网络环境下适用规则的深入理解和当前的国家实践，对一些国家和作者所主张的对网络行动适用规则的更具体解释的基础提出质疑，解决文献中的这些缺陷，并补充现有的关于网络行动适用国际法的研究。现代的发展，包括网络行动中技术进步使非国家行为者的作用增加，提出了解释适用于新的行动领域的主要规则的困难问题，这些挑战仍然没有得到充分的探讨，在现有的文献中也没有得到重视。具体而言，本论文提供了一个批判性的分析，根据国家的立场和现有的国家实践支持的案例研究和假设场景的主要规则的解释，提供一个详细的评估，现行法的主要规则网络options.The研究对齐最密切的“全球Underwater”EPSRC的战略和研究领域。没有公司或合作者参与这项研究。
