Martens Clause: Application in the context of Cyberwar

Certainly, with the codification of International humanitarian law or commonly known as the law of war or the law of armed conflict, the humanitarian problems derived from the armed conflicts were solved. However, against situations didn’t consider the traditional law is given the possibility of appeal to other sources inside International law like General principles of law, the international custom, or the doctrine. The Martens Clause is shown as a mechanism of interpretation against problems or situations that couldn’t be contemplated by the conventional law of IHL. This article pretends to analyze the application of the Martens Clause in the context of cyberwar. It will be examined in the context of armed conflict, and it will be checked the normative development that could be applied to an armed conflict cataloged as cyberwar. It will be shown the important role that performs the Martens Clause against the empty normative of cyberwar that it will be presented as a new threat inside of the jus in bello. JEL CODE: F02, L86.
