One year ago today, we launched the Tallinn Manual 3.0, an updated version of the international law guidance for cyber operations. The Tallinn Manual 3.0 is the product of a collaboration between experts from 20 countries, and it provides much-needed clarity on the legal framework for cyber operations.
In the year since its launch, the Tallinn Manual 3.0 has been used by governments, militaries, and legal experts around the world. It has helped to shape national and international policies on cyber operations, and it has been cited in several high-profile cases.
The Tallinn Manual 3.0 is a significant milestone in the development of international law for cyber operations. It provides a common framework for understanding the legal issues involved in cyber operations, and it helps to ensure that these operations are conducted in a responsible and lawful manner.
As we mark the first anniversary of the Tallinn Manual 3.0, we reaffirm our commitment to the principles of international law that it upholds. We call on all states to use the Tallinn Manual 3.0 as a guide for their cyber operations, and we urge them to work together to build a more secure and stable cyberspace.
