Information Operations and the Question of Illegitimate Interference under International Law
Israel Law Review Pub Date : 2020-06-16 , DOI: 10.1017/s0021223720000060
Henning Lahmann

The article examines the legal qualification of state-led information operations that aim to undermine democratic decision-making processes in other states. After a survey of the legal attitudes of states towards such operations during the Cold War, the impact of the digital transformation on the frequency and quality of information operations is explained. The article assesses scholarly responses to the outlined paradigm shift regarding the prohibition of intervention, respect for sovereignty, and the principle of self-determination. The study then inquires whether it is possible to detect a change in how states qualify adversarial information operations by tracking recent state practice and official statements of opinio juris. The survey concludes that there is insufficient uniformity to allow for an inference that the content of the analysed rules of customary international law has already shifted towards more restrictive treatment of foreign interference. As a possible way forward, the article ends with a proposal to focus on deceptive and manipulative conduct of information operations as the most viable path to outlaw such state behaviour in the future. Instead of attempting to regulate the content of information, this approach is better suited to safeguard freedom of speech and other potentially affected civil rights.

信息运营与国际法下的非法干涉问题

这篇文章考察了国家主导的旨在破坏其他国家民主决策过程的信息行动的法律资格。在对冷战期间各国对此类行动的法律态度进行调查后,解释了数字化转型对信息行动频率和质量的影响。本文评估了学术界对关于禁止干预、尊重主权和自决原则的范式转变的反应。然后,该研究询问是否有可能通过跟踪最近的国家实践和官方声明来检测国家如何限定对抗性信息操作的变化。法律确信. 该调查得出的结论是,没有足够的一致性来推断所分析的习惯国际法规则的内容已经转向对外国干涉进行更严格的处理。作为一种可能的前进方式,本文最后提出了一项建议,将重点放在信息行动的欺骗性和操纵性行为上,作为未来取缔此类国家行为的最可行途径。这种方法不是试图规范信息的内容,而是更适合维护言论自由和其他可能受到影响的公民权利。
