Paul Ducheine, Peter Pijpers and Marten Zwanenburg authored a report on activities by the armed forces in the information environment. The report was commissioned by the Chief Information Officer of the Netherlands Ministry of Defence. The report is available on SSRN:

Tanden Voor de Leeuw – Een Voor Haar Doel en Op Haar Taak Berekende Krijgsmacht in de Informatie-Omgeving (Teeth for the Lion – An Armed Force Suited to Its Purpose and Task in the Information Environment)

In May, Ms. Andrada Florea started as an external PhD candidate. Her PhD project will look at the impact of the use of Artificial Intelligence on the ius ad bellum. How does the introduction of this technology influence how decisions to use force are taken by states and what consequences does this have for the law regulating the use of inter-state force? Supervisors are Marten Zwanenburg and Tom van Engers (professor of legal knowledge management, UvA and principal scientist, TNO).
