Abstract

This contribution analyses how States’ may rely on existing academic publications and expertise in the process of (re)interpretation international law in this new context as well as in the shaping of their approach and strategy. In this perspective, an important part of this contribution focuses on the two editions of the Tallinn Manual on the international law applicable to cyber operations published in 2013 and 2017 by Cambridge University Press. The Tallinn Manual, despite its funding by an international organization, is only an academic work and not an official document of any State or international organization. It has, however, proven being particularly influential on the approach and practice of some States.
