In a world increasingly governed by data, wars are no longer waged solely through boots and bombs. They are fought in code and clouds. From Ukraine’s digital resistance to the militarisation of cyber tools across the Middle East, today, armed conflicts are reshaping the contours of sovereignty, privacy, and humanitarian law.
In this new theatre of war, digital infrastructure has become both a weapon and a target. And personal data, once a passive artefact of identity, has emerged as a strategic asset. The paradox is stark: while nations assert their sovereign right to control digital flows during times of war, the rights of individuals to privacy, dignity, and due process are routinely subordinated.
