Umriss einer kantschen Cyberkriegsethik

Abstract

The text contributes to the conceptualization of cyberwar from an ethical perspective. After this new form of war has been defined and placed in a wider historical and technical context, norms of international justice are developed in concrete terms by resorting to Immanuel Kant’s complex war ethic. In addition to ius ad bellum and ius in bello, special attention is given to the ius post bellum, which is considered particularly
relevant, among other things because the ever-growing importance of the Internet of Things is bringing entirely new dangers for humanity.
