Guerre ibride: quali le risposte possibili?

Hybrid wars: the possible answers

Abstract

The contributions presented in the session dedicated to hybrid wars have concerned three fundamental aspects: the definition of the topic, the formants to regulate it, the plurality of systems involved in the regulation. The authors have called attention to the criticism of the concept of hybrid warfare. The term hybrid warfare underscores the importance of the combination of conventional and irregular tactics. Ambiguity is the main element of this definition. Consequently, the question of how to fight hybrid threats with the tools of the law is difficult. Traditional rules-based order seems to be insufficient, both at the international and European levels.

Keywords: Hybrid warfare; international law; Ius in bellum; Cyberwarfare; International humanitarian law.
