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

As of 30 September 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 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.
