- Description
- This research aims to determine how the principle of anticipatory self-defence, in line with article 51 of the UN Charter, can be applied to the context of maritime cybersecurity. Despite the debates by some scholars to clarify the international law position on anticipatory self-defence in the maritime context, there is no universally accepted legal provision for States to rely on in carrying out anticipatory self-defence against imminent maritime cyber-attacks. This raises the questions concerning the lawful steps States can take in self-defence against maritime cyber-attacks. This research shows the challenges facing States in their bid to comply with the provision of article 51 of the UN Charter to anticipatorily defend against an MCA. The recommendations made are intended to guide States in making policies and mapping our strategies to lawfully tackle the emerging threat of cyber-attacks against maritime security.
