Digital Peace Now University: Duncan Hollis – Part 2

Ready to move on to part two of our class, digital citizens? As a quick reminder, this two-part Digital Peace Now University (DPNU) lesson features Temple University Law School Professor Duncan B. Hollis examining the challenges of applying international law in cyberspace through his peculiar mind map (based on his Council on Foreign Relations piece). Part two of this lesson correlates the procedural and transparency challenges of international law in cyberspace to “The Law of the Horse” and the famous song “The Sounds of Silence,” respectively.
