Establishing a legal framework for Cyberwarfare


There have been almost 500 documented geopolitical cyber attacks around the world since 2009. Between 2009 and 2018 there was a 440% increase in global cyber warfare attacks.

Other statistics show that 20% of global organizations consider cyber espionage to be their number-one threat. Cybersecurity is not only important for safekeeping but is also an important factor in the social and economic development of countries. There is a need for a proper legal framework on Cyber Warfare.


Keeping this in mind, I suggest some modifications to the current information system.


The international community should take initiative aimed at building confidence and trust among states to reduce the risk of conflict stemming from the use of ICT.

There is a need worldwide to increase the budget for cybersecurity and capacity building. 

I believe that the exchange of information with regional partners through agreements made by both diplomatic and institutional means should be done.

Other than that there is a need to develop state policy in the field of cybersecurity and cyber defense to ensure the economic, political, and military interests in cyberspace.

It is also important to stress the need to train specialized personnel in the Cybersecurity and defense fields.

I would also strongly recommend incorporating mechanisms and specialized information exchange according to bilateral cooperation agreements on technology and cybersecurity intelligence material.

In the same way, I also believe that data should be better monitored, so as to maintain order and to inform the citizens that their data is safe.

I also urge the effective sanctioning of those who try to intrude in secure systems or disseminate personal information. I also stress upon the enforcement of laws regarding data, especially concerning legal sanctions for any and all involved in criminal activities that endanger information.

                                THW allows children to sue their parents for religious indoctrination Hello everyone. Today, I will be writing against this motion i.e THW allows children to sue their parents for religious indoctrination. This is just my side of the argument that I wanted to put forward for discussion and I am in no way forcing my thoughts about this topic on anyone. I would first like to define the important terms in this motion. Religious Indoctrination refers to a process of imparting doctrine in an authoritative way. Secondly, Children refer to minors under the age of 16 and suing is taking complicated legal action against a person. First, I would like to state that I in no way supports religious indoctrination and the opposition believes that they should be given some sort of help. But we need to acknowledge the fact that Children or Minors are too young and naive to make their own deci...

Law for the Man or Man for the Law? : A discussion in light of the 50th anniversary of Kesavananda Bharati case

Law for the Man or Man for the Law? : A discussion in light of the 50th anniversary of Kesavananda Bharati case 66 days. 701 pages worth of judgment, with a unique yet equally fundamental opinion for 11 of the 13 judges that presided over the case. Needless to say, Kesavananda Bharati vs. State of Kerala was the most important landmark case that made it to the pages of Indian history. The case was concluded on 24th April, 1973 with the judge's ruling acting as a temporary fix for the long running disputes between the State and the Court and aiming to provide an answer for two principal questions; these namely being a) How far can the government work for the welfare of the society when it is at the expense of an individual's fundamental rights? And b) How far reaching is the government’s right to amend our Constitution that is deemed to be a ‘living document’? The deliberation remains, did the ruling manage to provide us with a satisfactory answer? Well the answer is both yes an...

Cultural appropriation I dream of Jeannie Today I wanted to discuss cultural appropriation in one of the most famous series of its time i.e I dream of Jeanie. I Dream of Jeannie was written by Sidney Sheldon from 1965-70. The show is about American astronaut Major Nelson, who accidentally rescues a genie after finding her magical bottle on a deserted island. Although Nelson sets Jeannie free, she immediately falls in love with him and chooses to stay with her new “master.” It was one of the most viewed series of its time and was also nominated for an Emmy. And even today ‘I dream of Jeannie’ attracts many viewers. But sadly, the show was full of stereotypes and showed negative versions of Arabs and Muslims. One survey that was conducted on the show by Katherine bullock shows that Muslims are most often offended by the show whereas the Non-Muslims didn’t notice any negative stereotyping. So what were the stereotypes in “I dream of Jeannie”? Scholars have stated that early Hollywood ...
