Episode: What we don’t understand about digital risks in armed conflict and what to do about it
Description: The deployment and use of new digital technologies in modern conflicts – from information to cyber operations – creates new risks and enables actual risks of harm to civilians’ rights, lives, safety, dignity, and resilience. Understanding these risks is at the core of protection work in the digital age.
