Abstract
Is legal uncertainty within the existing structure of international law truly responsible for a grey zone that hostile actors can exploit by employing hybrid tactics? This chapter argues that the ability of hostile actors to exploit a grey zone by employing hybrid tactics does not derive from legal lacunae in which they can operate with impunity but rather represents structural problems of international law. The chapter critically considers how the existing structure of international law contributes to the growth of hybrid threats as a strategic choice of hostile actors, causing law-abiding states to suffer a disadvantage to the detriment of their security.
