Abstract
The development of cyber technology has brought challenges to various aspects of life. Legal regime regulating the means and methods of warfare stands amongst the most affected regimes due to such advancement. The existing puzzle is on whether there is a need to conclude a new Convention on international humanitarian law to address the challenges of cyber technology or not. While discussing issues relating to this puzzle, this article examines the legal regime in Tanzania and its rapport to the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL) including cyber warfare. The article observes out that, the Tanzanian legal framework insufficiently addresses the challenges of cyber warfare. Apart from relying on the ordinary crimes approach in interpreting and prosecuting IHL breaches, this article concludes that necessary legislative measures need to be taken by Tanzania to fill the gaps brought by cyber technology to the rules of IHL. Keywords: Armed Conflict, Cyber Technology, Cyber Warfare, Law of Armed Conflict, Ordinary Crimes Approach, Tallinn Manual.
