This article outlines in general terms how the environment of 21 st century transnational organised crime, terrorism and unconventional conflict is being shaped by information-related capabilities ( IRC s) that foster global networked connectivity and asymmetric responses to conventional military supremacy. This article explores how the conceptual apparatus regarding the distinction between wartime and peacetime, as well as war zones and peace zones, which has been developed within the framework of international criminal law and humanitarian law, can contribute to military-strategic operational and capability concepts. Integration of these conceptual frameworks within strategic analysis can serve to promote the effective use of force within a full spectrum operational environment in which information, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance thresholds are being lowered as deeper understandings of the social dynamic that sustains ongoing fighting within a global information environment become increasingly feasible through innovations in IRC s. In this context, this article suggests that law enforcement frameworks and approaches have a high threshold of applicability, i.e. to increasingly serious and organised situations of violence, if the strategic failures associated with conventional military operations are to be avoided. Rather than offering an analysis of cyber warfare/cyber attacks or information operations per se, this article is more generally concerned with understanding how military support and command and control operations are being conducted in the global information environment in order to achieve physical effects that can be characterised as non-international armed conflict.

在全球信息环境中绘制战争，和平与恐怖主义

本文概括性地概述了信息相关功能（IRC）如何塑造21世纪跨国有组织犯罪，恐怖主义和非常规冲突的环境，这些功能促进全球网络连接和对常规军事至上的不对称应对。本文探讨了在国际刑法和人道主义法框架内发展起来的关于战时与和平时期之间以及战区与和平区之间区别的概念性手段如何有助于军事战略作战和能力概念。将这些概念框架整合到战略分析中可有助于在信息，监视，随着对IRC的创新，对在全球信息环境中维持持续战斗的社会动力的更深刻理解，目标获取和侦察的门槛正在降低。在这种情况下，本文建议，如果要避免与常规军事行动有关的战略失败，则执法框架和方法具有较高的适用性门槛，即适用于日益严重和有组织的暴力局势。与其分析网络战/网络攻击或信息操作本身，不如说是，
