Ukraine, Cyberattacks, and the Lessons for International Law
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has put to the test theories about how cyberattacks fit into conventional war. Contrary to many expectations, cyber operations appear to have played only a limited role in the initial stages of the invasion, prompting competing theories and rampant speculation about why. Although written while the conflict continues, this essay considers how either of two broad explanations for the limited role of cyberattacks to date…
Not Illegal: The SolarWinds Incident and International Law
In 2021, the USA and other governments formally blamed Russia for a wide-ranging hacking campaign that breached the update process for SolarWinds Orion network monitoring software and used that access to compromise numerous government agencies, companies and other entities. Despite denouncing Russia’s cyber espionage and imposing sanctions, the USA did not call Russia’s actions illegal as a matter of international law – and for good reason. Based…
The Biden Administration Cracks Down on Ransomware
including recent air strikes, continue to cause civilian casualties and suffering, and . . . reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to work alongside the African Union and regional partners to help Ethiopians peacefully resolve the conflict." 52 Later the same day, media reported that drone strikes in Tigray killed nineteen people, including women and children at a flour mill. Nonetheless, by late January, after a visit by AU High Representative Obasanjo…
Russia Invades Ukraine
In the lead up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States and its allies attempted a delicate balancing act of diplomacy and deterrence. While the United States and the North American Treaty Organization (NATO) brought Russia to the negotiating table, they also issued threats of sanctions and disclosed intelligence to undermine pretextual claims that Russia might make to justify an invasion. Despite these efforts, Russia announced on Febr…
United States Grapples with Aftermath of Withdrawal from Afghanistan
Before departing, U.S. forces evacuated roughly 120,000 people, including U.S. citizens, diplomats, local U.S. embassy staff, and Afghan interpreters, in a massive airlift effort, and Biden declared the mission an "extraordinary success." 2 However, questions arose about numerous aspects of the withdrawal, especially the speed of the Taliban takeover and an erroneous airstrike on August 29 that killed ten civilians, including seven children. 3 Co…
United States Seeks Answers on Covid-19's Origin While Stepping Up “Vaccine Diplomacy”
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage across the world, the United States and its allies are pushing for answers about the virus's origins while China rebuffs inquiry into its early handling of the outbreak. Meanwhile, a growing U.S. stockpile of vaccines has opened new avenues for “vaccine diplomacy,” and the Biden administration has thrown its weight behind an effort to suspend cross-border intellectual property (IP) rules for vaccine manu…
Decentralized Cyberattack Attribution
Attribution of state-sponsored cyberattacks can be difficult, but the significant uptick in attributions in recent years shows that attribution is far from impossible. After several years of only sporadic attributions, Western governments in 2017 began attributing cyberattacks to other governments more frequently and in a more coordinated fashion. But non government actors have more consistently attributed harmful cyber activity to state actors. …
Stopping Wars and Making Peace: Studies in International Intervention
During most of human history, war was a basic instrument of statecraft, considered, for the most part, a lawful, honorable, ennobling, and even romantic pursuit. By contrast, peacemaking remained a marginal and indeed incongruous interstate activity. A war would end when the belligerents ended it. The experience of the twentieth century’s two world wars has changed, at least, the official view. The introduction of ever more destructive weapons, t…
