The Center for International Law & Human Rights (CILHR) at Lancaster University Law School will present a Conference on Hybrid Warfare and Minority Rights on June 26, 2015.
The current conflict in Ukraine has raised the challenge of hybrid warfare in European security.
[Hybrid warfare] is a method of combat which combines conventional forces to occupy territory with unconventional means “cyber attacks, mobilisation of irregular forces by intelligence agencies, propaganda of war, and acts of sabotage” conducted through disinformation and deniability.
The event will focus on three topics:

2. Freedom of Expression in the Media and Cyberspace
3. Hybrid Warfare and the Threshold for Armed Attack and State Responsibility
