On 29 January 2020, Professor Charles Jalloh moderated the expert discussion on crimes against humanity as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court for a New York event co-convened by the Permanent Missions of Liechtenstein, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland to the United Nations and the Global Institute for the Prevention of Aggression. The day long expert meeting, which was the Third Convening of the Council of Advisers on the Application of the Rome Statute to Cyberwarfare, also discussed war crimes and the law prohibiting the use of force amongst States. This innovative project has over the past several months offered a platform for States, academics, and civil society members to discuss how different forms of cyber operations fit into the Rome Statute system and other international legal frameworks. With the increasing digitization of international warfare, understanding the extent to which the Rome Statute and possibly other international legal frameworks apply to cyberattacks is imperative to ensure that the law keeps up with the realities of modern warfare. Professor Jalloh is an invited member of the Council of Advisers, which is in the process of completing its report containing recommendations for States.
