![]() Many, many international lawyers here in the U.S. But for international lawyers, it also presents cutting-edge issues of international law, which go to a very fundamental question: how do we apply old laws of war to new cyber-circumstances, staying faithful to enduring principles, while accounting for changing times and technologies? While my daily workload covers many of the bread and butter issues of international law-diplomatic immunity, the law of the sea, international humanitarian law, treaty interpretation-like many of you, I find more and more of my time is spent grappling with the question of how international law applies in cyberspace.Įveryone here knows that cyberspace presents new opportunities and new challenges for the United States in every foreign policy realm, including national defense. Thank you, Colonel Brown, for your kind invitation to speak here today at this very important conference on “the roles of cyber in national defense.” I have been an international lawyer for more than thirty years, a government lawyer practicing international law for more than a decade, and the State Department’s Legal Adviser for nearly 3 ½ years.
