Problematic aspects of the legal definition of hybrid warfare

ENThe increased military threat brings anxiety and heightened sensitivity to the use of the term. Therefore, „hybridity" has become a much-debated concept these days. War is a state when one goes beyond the limits of coexistence with one's neighbours, where the human mind and the greatest cruelty are manifested to win. Therefore, regulating such relations has always been a big challenge. Modern hybrid warfare is new in that it challenges the established order since World War II, the US leadership in establishing global order. It is a challenge to the dominance of military power and scientific thought of Western civilization. New military powers are emerging that, unable to challenge the United States directly, seek to compete for dominance in their region or the world through other means. Keywords: hybrid war, international law, hybrid actions, hybrid peace, the definition of hybrid warfare, hybrid threats, hybrid interference. [From the publication]
