Week 11 - Cyber-security in IR 15. 12. 2020
This teaching unit will be dedicated to cybersecurity. In preparation for the session, please read the Estonia 2007 fact sheet and answer the following questions:
Do the events described constitute a prohibited use of force/armed attack by Russia? (think of at least one supportive argument and one counter argument)
How should the Estonian government respond to the events (short + long term)?
Estonia is a NATO member state. Should the events trigger the collective defense
arrangement under Article 51? If so, what measures should be taken?
