While cyberspace is often portrayed as a borderless “global common,” the Tallinn Manual 2.0 uses existing definitions of sovereignty and international precedence to delineate state sovereignty over cyber infrastructure, actors, and activities, and the attendant legal rights and responsibilities implied by sovereign cyberspace. This chapter addresses the foundational legal principle of sovereignty. Part 1: General International Law and Cyberspace 1: Sovereignty

Presented below is a list of the cases and treaties cited by the Tallinn Manual 2.0, listed in order of appearance by chapter, which serves as both a reference guide for the manual itself, as well as to illustrate the diversity of law which governs cyber activities. Consistent with its premise, the Tallinn Manual 2.0 cites over a century’s worth of treaties and case law, extending the premises of international law principles and regimes to their applications in cyberspace. The first section deals with general legal principles, while the latter three sections address specific specialized legal regimes. As such, the Tallinn Manual 2.0 is broken into four parts with twenty chapters total, each examining a different area of existing international law. The analysis rests on the idea that cyber operations do not occur in a legal vacuum, and preexisting obligations under international law apply equally to the cyber domain. Washington D.C., Ap– The Tallinn Manual 2.0 is the second edition of NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence’s analysis on the application of international law to cyberspace.
