LawyersForPeace.Online

A curated map of the law of peace in the cyber and information sphere – and a discussion forum of lawyers around it.

As of 1 October 2026.

This site collects and briefly describes legal texts of global relevance that bear on peace and conflict in the cyber and information sphere: treaties, UN instruments, regional legislation, court decisions, national examples, non-binding instruments, private-law and market instruments and – where no binding rule exists – the regulatory gaps. It follows the idea of peace through law: conflicts are to be settled by law rather than by force, deception or manipulation.

Entries describe; they do not evaluate or advocate. Contested readings are attributed to those who hold them. More: about the project · editorial policy.
