Due to the lack of precedent from international courts, and the quickly evolving capabilities of cyberattackers, effective law covering cyberwarfare may be difficult to create. Until the Geneva Conventions are updated, and the UN creates rules around cyberwarfare activities, the existing commonly accepted rules of warfare will be applied where they fit.

The Tallinn Manual is a response to a growing focus on cyberattacks by both nation-states and nonstate actors, and the challenges the attacks present when nation-states attempt to determine if their activities or those of their attackers are covered by international law. International views on whether the existing laws and treaties regarding warfare apply to cyberattacks and cyberwarfare vary, and the threshold conditions that determine when a state of war exists are often a point of contention.
