Abstract

The increasing use of information and communications technology (ICTs) for malicious purposes has triggered a debate about the role of International Law (IL) and International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in regulating cyberwarfare. This article stimulates the inclusion of a feminist perspective on the gendered aspects of conflict and how they can extend to cyberspace in the interplay between technology, conflict, and IHL.
