Animus Aggressionis: The Role of Intent in the Analysis of Armed Attack in Cyberspace

Original language description

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the right to self-defense in the context of cyber operations, specifically the fulfilment of the subjective element of armed attack - animus aggressionis. The first part of the paper discusses animus aggressionis in general terms in order to demonstrate that the subjective element of armed attack has always been recognized and respected by states as a defining feature of armed attack, but in the case of kinetic operations this element could be presumed without further consideration and therefore has not received much attention in the statements of states or in the academic literature.The second part then discusses the specifics of cyber operations, in particular the unpredictability of their consequences, and highlights the risks of the prevailing doctrine of “scale and effects”, the application of which can lead to unnecessary escalation of conflict. It is demonstrated that animus aggressionis must be taken into account. The final part of the paper proposes a standard for assessing animus aggressionis derived from international criminal law (mens rea).
