ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with a discussion of ways in which the Security Council could become involved in matters of cybersecurity, briefly discussing likely applicable factors of limited operability. The United Nations Security Council is the executive decision-making arena of the United Nations and the world’s most important international decision-making body with the primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and security. After the Cold War, new kinds of conflicts and broader security concerns were increasingly included on the Security Council agenda, many of them without immediate peace and security implications. Estonia, one of the newest additions to the Council, has flagged the question of cybersecurity as part of their candidacy campaign. The Security Council is testament to the international community living a relatively comfortable life, while rogue actors and muscle states operate just shy of the thresholds for the use of force.
