Abstract
To gauge the manner in which international law is likely to evolve with respect to cyberspace, this article first evaluates how normative evolution is likely to occur. Second, it lays out the legal-strategic options open to states in approaching law’s evolution as applied to cyber operations. Lastly, the article assesses the general vector of international law’s evolution with respect to cyberspace. A trend is emerging — one that acknowledges the power of international law rules to hamper harmful cyber operations.
