Signaling legal protection in a digitalizing world: a new era for the distinctive emblems?

Signaling legal protection in a digitalizing world: a new era for the distinctive emblems?

The use of digital technology in armed conflict is rising sharply. Such developments come with risks, but they may also provide opportunities. For example, could new technologies help digitally signal that certain infrastructure and assets enjoy protection under international humanitarian law? For 150 years, the red cross and red crescent, and more recently the red crystal, have performed this function in the physical world. Would it be feasible, and advisable from a cyber-security point of view, to mark the digital assets of protected entities in times of armed conflict? In this post, Tilman Rodenhäuser, Legal Adviser at the ICRC, Laurent Gisel, Head of the Arms and Conduct of Hostilities Unit at the ICRC; Larry Maybee, Legal Adviser at Australian Red Cross; Hollie Johnston, Senior Adviser at Australian Red Cross; and Fabrice Lauper, Technology Adviser at the ICRC present the main concepts and ideas of the ICRC’s research project on the digitalization of the red cross, red crescent, and red crystal emblems.
