LEGAL REGIME OF STATE JURISDICTION IN CYBERSPACE: INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR ATTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRANSNATIONAL CYBER OPERATIONS
LEGAL REGIME OF STATE JURISDICTION IN CYBERSPACE: INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR ATTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRANSNATIONAL CYBER OPERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The expansion of cyberspace represents one of the most complex challenges of contemporary international law, particularly in the context of determining state jurisdiction and attribution of responsibility for transnational cyber operations. This paper analyzes the existing international legal framework for establishing state jurisdiction in the cyber domain, examines legal standards for attribution of cyber attacks to states and considers the evolution of international legal norms in this area. Through comparative analysis of state practice, judicial decisions and international documents, the paper identifies key legal gaps and proposes directions for future normative regulation. The research shows that traditional principles of territorial and personal jurisdiction require significant adaptation for effective application in cyberspace, while standards for attribution of responsibility remain unclear and controversial. The paper concludes that a comprehensive international legal instrument is needed that would clearly define jurisdictional frameworks and attribution criteria in the cyber domain.
