Abstract

The research explored the relationship between the Treaty of Westphalia's principles of national sovereignty and non-intervention and Cyber warfare in the modern era, using the Russian-Ukrainian war as a case study. Through a literature review, the study examined how these principles are evolving in today's boundary-less digital world. An in-depth analysis of incidents between Russia and Ukraine from January 2020 to January 2022 revealed that both countries experienced significant cyber attacks. However, there was no evidence linking Ukraine to any incidents against Russia, and no surge in incidents was observed prior to the events in Ukraine in February 2022. The study concluded that digital incidents appears did not significantly impact the Treaty of Westphalia's principles, suggesting that these principles remain robust in the face of cyber challenges.
