Abstract
Abstract This chapter investigates the relationship between the law of armed conflict (LOAC) and information warfare from the perspective of the Indo-Pacific region. Winning the battle of narratives is critical in modern warfare. Often, this involves mutual accusations of LOAC violations whereby adversaries seek to delegitimize each other. The information revolution has greatly facilitated this process by creating new tools and spaces for narrative contestation. As this chapter explains, it is highly likely that any future armed conflict in the Indo-Pacific will be accompanied by information campaigns centered around LOAC compliance. Many States in the region possess relevant capabilities and are likely to put them to use. This includes the People’s Republic of China, which should be expected to engage in psychological, media, and legal warfare to justify its actions, challenge rivals, and shape international narratives, using the language of LOAC.
