  8. Questioner (Marcos Kotlik, IHL Student Writing Competition winner): #CyberWarfare attacks as perfidious acts?
  9. Jackson: How do the principles of Int'l #Humanitarian Law change in the context of #CyberWarfare? bit.ly/GTVE2R
  10. Rosenzweig: "Private actors also have 'guns.' We don't have any set of rules for 'rent-a-cops' in the cyber world."#CyberWarfare
  11. Rosenzweig: 90% of infrastructure in US is privately owned. Person "shooting" back isn't gov't, "it's Verizon or Pepco" #CyberWarfare
  12. Cordula Droege, @ICRC: Depends on the effect as we see it. States will treat financial system attack as armed int'l attack #CyberWarfare
  13. Jackson: What is the trigger for application of In'tl #Humanitarian Law? #CyberWarfare
  14. Prof. Ken Anderson, @AUWCL: Attribution is key. Figure out who attack is coming from. More like an intel-gathering function #CyberWarfare
  15. Blank: problem of telling nature of cyber intrusions recalls problems soldiers have telling apart combatants & civilians #CyberWarfare
  16. Laurie Blank, Director IHL Clinic @EmoryLaw: What constitutes civilian harm, ie "violation of distinction," in #CyberWarfare v. kinetic war?
  17. Jackson: How does attribution play into whether we consider it #CyberWarfare or law enforcement activity? Int'l #Humanitarian Law Conference
  18. According to Sean Watts from @Creighton: Important question is, "Why do you want to know?" #CyberWarfare
  19. In defense context, is it #CyberWarfare at all? Paul Rosenzweig, @DHSGov & @GWtweets: Of course, but can't always tell nature of intrusions
