Diplomacy should support the efforts of intelligence agencies and law enforcement to secure the cyber domain, said Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodor Mele?canu during a recent visit at the Tallinn, Estonia-based NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence.
“Our responses should be more sophisticated and interdisciplinary, taking good care of the basic principles, such as the respect of the international law and human rights, within cyberspace,” said Mele?canu. “The academic and doctrinal value of the Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the international law applicable to cyber operations helps in codifying the international law to cyberspace.”
