Abstract
Rapid increase in the use of cyberspace and its unique characteristics, including interconnectivity of cyber infrastructure around the world and absence of any borders on the world wide web, on the one hand; and the possibility of using cyber infrastructures of other States to employ cyberspace and its capabilities for cyber-attacks and transmission of cyber weapons, on the other; makes the observance of neutrality in international armed conflicts, if not impossible, difficult at the very least. In such situation, inviolability of the territory of neutral States becomes extremely vulnerable and the probability of involvement of the neutral State in the ongoing conflict enhances. Which is the very consequence that the law of neutrality seeks to avoid? Thus, the study of the applicability of the law of neutrality to cyberspace in general and obligations of belligerents and neutral States in particular, their implementation, and the consequences of their violations seems necessary.
