Abstract

Kibernetsko vojskovanje je realnost sodobnega bojišča. Digitalizacija civilne družbe je razširila nabor kibernetskih tarč in jo še bolj izpostavila nevarnostim sovražnosti. Kot eno temeljnih načel mednarodnega humanitarnega prava za zaščito civilnega prebivalstva, načelo razlikovanja določa, da morajo vpleteni v sovražnosti vselej razlikovati med civilnimi objekti in vojaškimi cilji, civilisti in borci, ter omogočiti nasprotniku enako razlikovanje. Z analizo uporabe tega načela magistrsko diplomsko delo naslovi vprašanje o zadostnosti zaščite, ki jo načelo ponuja v kibernetski domeni. Velika odvisnost vojska od civilne kibernetske infrastrukture namreč znatno razširi nabor vojaških ciljev, vključujoč sisteme, na katere se zanašajo ključne civilne dejavnosti. Obenem sama struktura kibernetskega prostora ne zagotavlja ločitve njegovih vojaških in civilnih komponent, zaradi vseprisotne medsebojne povezanosti objektov v kibernetskem prostoru, pa se poraja dvom o kakršnikoli vojaški prednosti, ki bi izhajala iz njihovega uničenja, zavzetja ali nevtralizacije. Nejasnosti se pojavljajo tudi pri razlikovanju oseb, saj je v kibernetskem vojskovanju težko zadostiti na videz enostavnim pogojem za status borca, široka udeležba civilistov v izvajanju kibernetskih operacij pa ponovno aktualizira razpravo o pravni ureditvi neposredne udeležbe civilistov v sovražnostih. V magistrskem diplomskem delu je dokazana hipoteza, da operacije, ki sicer resno vplivajo na ključno civilno infrastrukturo in storitve, kljub temu ne zadostijo nujno kriterijem za neposredno udeležbo v sovražnostih, zato lahko nekateri civilisti izvajajo kibernetske operacije z znatnimi posledicami, tudi za civilno prebivalstvo, ne da bi postali vojaški cilji.

Secondary title:	Principle of distinction in cyber warfare
Secondary abstract:	Cyber warfare is a reality of the modern battlefield. Digitalization of civil society has expanded the range of cyber targets, further exposing it to dangers arising from the conduct of hostilities. Principle of distinction, one of the core fundamental principles of international humanitarian law dictates, that participants in hostilities at all times distinguish between civilian objects and military objectives, between civilians and combatants, as well as enable the opponent to make the same distinction. By analyzing the application of the principle of distinction to persons and objects, the thesis addresses the adequacy of the protection offered by the principle in the cyber domain. Great reliance of militaries on cyberinfrastructure significantly expands the range of potential military objectives, including the systems which key civilian activities depend on. In the meantime, the structure of cyberspace itself does not allow for the separation of its military and civilian components. Due to its interconnectedness, doubt can arise regarding any military advantage, originating from the destruction, capture, or neutralization of targets in the cyber domain. There are many unknowns in distinction between persons as well. Simple conditions for the combatant status are in cyber warfare difficult to be fulfilled. The common use of civilians in cyber operations is again actualizing the debate on legal regulation of civilian direct participation in hostilities. Operations causing a serious impact on key civilian infrastructure and services, might not be regulated by the regime of direct participation in hostilities, allowing the civilians to conduct cyber operations with significant consequences for the civilian population, without themselves becoming military targets.
