Abstract
The paper explores possible
international legal measures against information
warfare and ways of international law application to
interstate informational conflicts. The authors
attempt to formulate legal definition of informational
warfare and identify its essential features. Two types
of hostile actions on the criterion of targeting are
distinguished as humanitarian and cyber forms of
information warfare. The conclusion that the article’s
authors draw is that the contemporary international
law does not establish an appropriate legal regime to
information interstate conflicts. A universal
international treaty is needed in order to prevent
states from information aggression. The concept of its
aims and main provision is also suggested.
