Contributors outline the impact of technological advancements on international law across key areas such as communications, governance, surveillance and security, immigration, warfare, and economics. They consider whether and how the use of new technologies, including information and communication technology, autonomous artificial intelligence systems, and blockchain infrastructures, should be regulated. Chapters investigate the impact of technology use on international legal discourse, international law-making, implementation of international law, and international accountability across the globe. This book ultimately demonstrates the numerous advantages of technology in aiding the interpretation, identification, formation, implementation, and enforcement of international law, provided that the application of technology is appropriately regulated.
This book is an essential resource for scholars and students of international law, particularly those with an interest in law and technology. It is also highly beneficial for legal professionals seeking to understand the evolving dynamics of international law within the new technological landscape.
Edited by Irene Couzigou, Professor of International Law, University of Aberdeen, UK
