Collaborative Research: Developing a Normative Framework for Cyber Warfare

项目概述私人投资机构建议为网络战政策制定一个标准化框架。他们计划对网络战做法进行调查，并评估当前网络战在多大程度上符合海牙和日内瓦公约所依据的基本战争伦理原则，包括歧视、归属、相称性和欺骗性。出于这些目的，他们与新兴技术、军事行动和国家安全联盟(CETMONS)合作。知识价值美国显然担心网络攻击；其他国家可能会对军事能力造成严重破坏，并打击物理目标和基础设施，但更多的是匿名的，不会让他们的士兵处于危险之中。为了应对这些前景，美国正在制定一项深思熟虑的计划，以加强网络空间的安全和保障。然而，网络战也对正义战争理论提出了巨大挑战，正义战争理论是武装冲突国际法的基础。这个项目通过调查战争基本原则的紧张局势来满足一个重要的需求，帮助确定网络战的允许性和政策。它将提供一套简明的规范性原则，还可以用来保护网络空间，网络空间对现代生活越来越重要。更广泛的影响这个项目的成果将包括一份关于网络战争伦理的综合报告，一门大学级的伦理课程，以及一本将作为此类课程文本的编辑过的卷。这份报告将以对政策制定者有用的明确语言确定连贯的网络战伦理的具体选择。私人投资机构计划通过公开讲习班征求意见并传播他们的研究成果，一个在项目开始时，另一个在项目结束时，以及整个过程中的会议和课堂演讲。

Project Overview The PIs propose to develop a normative framework for policies of cyber warfare. They plan to conduct an investigation into cyber warfare practices and to evaluate the extent to which current cyber warfare conforms to basic war ethics principles underlying the Hague and Geneva conventions including discrimination, attribution, proportionality, and deception. For these purposes, they are partnering with the Consortium for Emerging Technologies, Military Operations, and National Security (CETMONS). Intellectual Merit The US is clearly worried about cyber attacks; other nations could inflict serious damage to military capabilities, as well as strike physical targets and infrastructure, with more anonymity and without placing their soldiers at risk. In response to these prospects, the US is developing a thoughtful plan to operate with greater safety and security in cyberspace. However, cyber warfare also poses great challenges to just war theory, the basis for international laws of armed conflict. This project fills an important need by investigating tensions with the basic principles of war, helping to determine the permissibility and policies of cyber warfare. It will provide a concise set of normative principles that could also serve to safeguard cyberspace, which is increasingly essential to modern life. Broader Impact The results of this project will include a comprehensive report on cyber warfare ethics, a university-level ethics course, and an edited volume that would serve as a text for such a course. This report will identify specific options for a coherent cyber war ethics in clear language useful for policymakers. The PIs plan to solicit input and disseminate their research through public workshops, one at the beginning and another at the end of the project, as well as conference and classroom talks throughout.
