Cybersecurity and extraterritorial obligations of states
Year: 2021

Ensuring cybersecurity is a common interest-based obligation for states. This applies independently of borders, especially as failing to ensure cybersecurity in one state means endangering cybersecurity in all states. Human rights-related extraterritorial obligations of states oblige states to ensure an adequate level of cybersecurity and are important normative vectors for an increasingly robust protection of cybersecurity in international law.
