ABSTRACT
The seminar aims to explore the link between the need to safeguard the founding values of the European Union legal order, including democracy, and cybersecurity, within the EU’s legal framework. Starting from the premise that the response to cyber threats represents not only a technical challenge but also a legal one, the discussion will focus on the EU’s legal instruments within the CFSP framework, with particular attention to the regime of restrictive measures adopted against third countries, individuals and entities responsible for cyber attacks. In light of the challenges facing the current sanctions regime and recent developments in practice, this paper will critically examine its consistency with the EU’s constitutional constraints and its effective contribution to the security of the Union and its Member States.
