reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1162331 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Our research produced several primary findings on the character of and prospects for cyber norms. First, there is no clear, emerging consensus on the precise shape of required norms. While some principles are common to several global aspirational statements, none has achieved formal recognition and promised enforcement by all the major cyber powers, all of whom continue to act with a significant degree of cyber impunity.
