Original title: Siber Saldırılar Karşısında Meşru Müdafaa Hakkı
This study will discuss whether cyber-attacks trigger the right of self-defense. Cyber-attacks primarily result in the loss of valuable intellectual property, company secrets and plans, and economically valuable data, as well as collateral damages such as the expenditures to be made to restore security as the security of the targeted system is breached. But more importantly, cyber-attacks have the potential to cause severe and irreparable disasters. An attack targeting the software of airplanes and airports can be catastrophic, leading to fatalities.
In light of these information, this study seeks to answer the following questions. How to respond to cyber attacks in such scenarios? Are established norms sufficient to respond effectively to cyber-attacks? Or will states prefer a system where everyone seeks their own rights within the framework of the institution of self-help? Already, states are expanding the boundaries of established norms and seeking new methods.
