“…The Tallinn Manual Experts are clear in their view that a state has jurisdiction over cyber activities (Rule 8). Nevertheless, a lack of consensus on sovereignty means that there is no clear agreement on this (Assaf et al, 2020).…”

The military now views cyberspace as a new warfare domain, with constant cyber operations potentially causing significant consequences. Internationally, countries are heavily involved in cyberspace, but international law lags behind this evolution, raising questions about its application and retaliation measures. This article investigates international law in cyberspace and cyber operations in warfare and terrorism, exploring recent calls for increased legislation. The impact of cyberspace nonregulation on international security is examined from both positive and negative perspectives. It argues that solving anonymity and attribution issues requires state collaboration, with an initial step of cooperation against cyber‐terrorism. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of cyberspace regulation and legislation for international and national security, offering a starting point for discussion.

“…The theoretical paradox is thus clear. For addressing this quagmire, recent discussion has contemplated about thresholds for attacks in the digital realm (Assaf et al 2020;Pawlak et al 2020). Against this backdrop, it is possible to continue with another miscomparison involving the apparent presence of degreeism.…”

This short theoretical and argumentative essay contributes to the ongoing deliberation about the so-called digitalfug sovereignty, as pursued particularly in the European Union (EU). Drawing from classical political science literature, the essay approaches the debate through paradoxes that arise from applying classical notions of sovereignty to the digital domain. With these paradoxes and a focus on the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the essay develops a viewpoint distinct from the conventional territorial notion of sovereignty. Accordingly, the lesson from Westphalia has more to do with the capacity of a state to govern. It is also this capacity that is argued to enable the sovereignty of individuals within the digital realm. With this viewpoint, the essay further advances another, broader, and more pressing debate on politics and democracy in the digital era.

“…But it has already been noted that the digital realm is not bound to territories, and, hence, in analytical terms, there cannot be armed conflicts in the realm. For addressing this quagmire, recent discussion has contemplated about thresholds for attacks in the digital realm (Assaf et al, 2020;Pawlak et al, 2020). Against this backdrop, it is at least possible to see a treachery in the treachery of the image; the apparent presence of degreeism.…”

This analytical essay contributes to the ongoing deliberation about the socalled digital sovereignty, as pursued particularly in the European Union (EU). Drawing from classical political science literature, the essay approaches the debate through different miscomparisons, leading to different treacheries of images. By focusing on the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the essay develops a viewpoint distinct from the conventional territorial notion of sovereignty. Accordingly, the lesson from Westphalia has more to do with the capacity of a state to govern. With this viewpoint, the essay further advances another, broader, and more pressing debate on politics and democracy in the digital era.
