Please join the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative, the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence, and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands on Wednesday, February 8 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. for the book launch of the Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations.

The first Tallinn Manual was the most comprehensive analysis of how existing international law applies to cyber space, mostly focusing on cyber operations occurring during armed conflict. Four years after its publication, we have witnessed cyber rapidly moving to the forefront of national security agendas in response to the proliferation of cyberattacks against states, companies, and individuals alike. The Tallinn Manual 2.0, authored by nineteen respected international law experts across the globe, adds analysis of international law governing these more common forms of cyber incidents occurring during peace time.

The discussion on February 8 gathers a distinguished group of experts to explain and debate the Manual’s provisions and share their insights into ways international law shapes stakeholders’ conduct in cyberspace.
