 **Creating A Legal Framework for the Issue of Cyber Warfare** Unorganized Cyber Warfare, which is the use of computers and the Internet in conducting warfare in cyberspace, has been a driving force in the rising of tensions between countries, as can be seen from past relevant events such as the Cold War, and more specifically, the First Gulf War. The Republic of Iraq believes that a legal framework should be created in order to limit, if not, cease the process of unorganized cyber warfare on vulnerable countries. Iraq agrees with the UN telecommunications agency chief’s statement in Geneva on October 6th 2009, claiming that the next world war could take place in cyberspace. The US has recently established a unified cyber-command to defend its military computer networks and to attack those of its enemies. South Korea, Singapore and China, Pakistan and India are currently under some process of cyber warefare and have been upgrading their cyber security and defenses, as well as adding cybersecurity experts to their informational warfare departments. Iraq may be subjected to disablement of e-mail and web access, along with their own military and governmental cyberspace, just to begin. Iraq feels that cyber warfare should be avoided and in order to do so, have the UN for a legal framework regarding the issue to protect the ‘nervous systems’ of the UN’s countries. Doing so, the UN should suggest and implement a set of laws and codes, by which all participating countries should abide, that would eventually (after having been thoroughly revised for maximum efficiency) create a safe zone for the countries within the organization.
