Call for papers: Law in the Age of Hybrid Threats
Law in the Age of Hybrid
Threats
Joint symposium of
Contemporary Central &
East European Law journal
and Centre for Research on Law
and Hybrid Threats at ILS PAS
According to the European Centre of Excellence for
Countering Hybrid Threats (Hybrid CoE), hybrid threats ‘are harmful activities
that are planned and carried out with malign intent (…) [with the aim to
undermine] a target, such as a state or an institution, through a variety of
means, often combined.’[1] In a joint publication
with the European Commission, the Hybrid CoE identified thirteen domains in
which hybrid threats target States: infrastructure, cyber, space, economy,
military/defence, culture, social/societal, public administration,
intelligence, diplomacy, political, information, and legal.[2] When it comes to the last
one, actors deploying hybrid threats may choose from a variety of tools, such
as ‘exploiting legal thresholds, gaps, complexity and uncertainty;
circumventing its legal obligations; avoiding accountability; leveraging
rule-compliance by the targeted state; exploiting the lack of legal
inter-operability among targeted nations; using its own regulatory powers under
domestic law; and utilizing the law and legal processes to create narratives
and counter-narratives.’[3] What is important is that
these tools may, but do not necessarily have to, violate the law.
Against this background, the Editors of Contemporary
Central & East European Law, together with the Centre for Research on Law
and Hybrid Threats at the Institute of Law Studies of the Polish Academy of
Sciences, invite submissions for the joint symposium on the topic “Law in the
Age of Hybrid Threats.” The aim of the symposium is to gather contributions
from scholars across different branches of law, both public and private,
focusing on various cases of law being used, abused, or targeted by actors
employing hybrid threats. We welcome submissions not only from Central and
Eastern Europe but from all over the world, addressing both theoretical issues
and case studies.
Contributions may explore, among others, the following
questions:
·
Does
law define hybrid threats or any aspects thereof? If so, how was such a
definition developed, and is it useful for scholars and practitioners? What
purpose does it serve?
·
How
is the law used to target vulnerabilities in democratic societies?
·
Have
states adopted legislation targeting specific examples of hybrid threats, such
as disinformation?
·
Have
domestic or international courts, directly or indirectly, referred to hybrid
threats?
·
Are
private or public law regulations more effective in dealing with hybrid
threats? Is it possible to use traditional domestic regulations—such as those
concerning defamation or the unlawful obtaining and dissemination of personal
data—to prosecute hybrid threats? Can a lawsuit be filed for infringement of
personal rights against an actor deploying hybrid threats?
·
How
hybrid threats affect the protection of human rights? Are human rights systems
equipped with sufficient measures of reaction to hybrid threats?
Contributions may address all areas of domestic and
international law, as well as intersections between different branches.
Articles may focus on a single domestic jurisdiction or employ a comparative
approach.
We welcome submissions of 6,000-8,000 words
(including footnotes). All submissions must conform to the OSCOLA style.
Submissions that do not comply with these guidelines will not be processed.
The texts should be submitted via the online platform available on the journal’s website by 15 June
2026.

XVIII Konferencja Naukowa Międzynarodowego Prawa Humanitarnego pt. „Wyzwania w zakresie ochrony praw człowieka na wielodomenowym polu walki”
Akademia Marynarki Wojennej im.
Bohaterów Westerplatte w Gdyni ma przyjemność zaprosić Państwa na XVIII
Konferencję Naukową Międzynarodowego Prawa Humanitarnego pt. „Wyzwania w
zakresie ochrony praw człowieka na wielodomenowym polu walki”, które
odbędzie się 15-16 czerwca 2026 r. w Audytorium w Bibliotece Głównej
AMW.
Celem corocznych konferencji
Międzynarodowego Prawa Humanitarnego jest prezentacja i dyskusja
na temat wyników badań naukowych dotyczących współczesnych konfliktów
zbrojnych w świetle wymagań międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego oraz wymiana
poglądów między prawnikami i wojskowymi, praktykami i teoretykami, zajmującymi
się problematyką międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego konfliktów
zbrojnych. Tegoroczna edycja zostanie poświęcona zagadnieniom związanym z
wyzwaniami, jakie stawia prawu międzynarodowemu – zarówno międzynarodowemu
prawu humanitarnemu jak i prawu międzynarodowemu praw człowieka – współczesny
wielodomenowy teatr działań, wymagając w XXI wieku reinterpretacji traktatów
międzynarodowych z ubiegłego stulecia.
Pogłębionej
analizie poddana zostanie wielodomenowość współczesnego teatru działań, gdzie
poza tradycyjnym polem walki (wojna lądowa, wojna powietrzna, wojna morska)
zmagania toczą się również w wymiarze niekinetycznym – w cyberprzestrzeni oraz
w ramach szeroko rozumianego konfliktu hybrydowego, jak również wojny
informacyjnej (kognitywnej). Coraz trudniejsza staje się odpowiedź na pytanie
co współcześnie oznacza termin „osoba cywilna”, jak rozróżnić bezpośrednie i pośrednie
formy angażowania się cywilów w działania zbrojne w obliczu wszechogarniającej
prywatyzacji i komercjalizacji konfliktów zbrojnych, jaki status mają obiekty
„dual use” oraz w jakim zakresie do tych tzw. „nowych wojen” mają zastosowanie normy
traktatów międzynarodowych sprzed kilkudziesięciu lat. Drugiego dnia
konferencji prelegenci podejmą próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie do jakiego stopnia
zakres ograniczeń i obowiązków pozytywnych ustanowionych w międzynarodowym systemie
ochrony praw człowieka (w szczególności europejskim) powinien być „implementowany”
na grunt prowadzonych współcześnie operacji wojskowych, uzupełniając podstawowy
reżim międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego konfliktów zbrojnych oraz wybrane
zagadnienia ochrony ofiar wojny we współczesnych konfliktach zbrojnych.
Termin zgłoszenia propozycji
wystąpień konferencyjnych upływa 25 marca br. Szczegóły na stronie
internetowej: https://mph.amw.gdynia.pl/konferencje/#rok-2026.
Konferencja zyskała dofinansowanie ze środków budżetu
państwa, przyznanych przez Ministra Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego w ramach
Programu Wektory Nauki.
