 Lawfare - Law as a Weapon of War THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL Institute: National University of Public Service, Budapest military sciences Doctoral School of Military Sciences Thesis supervisor: Ferenc Petruska Location of studies (in Hungarian): Doctoral School of Military Science Abbreviation of location of studies: DSMS Description of the research topic: The word lawfare is a qualitative, two-part compound of the words law and warfare. It is usually referred to as the abuse of law, and less often private law and/or related legal institutions, against specific individuals. This may be achieved by delegitimizing, defaming or discrediting them on the public relations front. It may also result in a cynical manipulation of the rule of law and the humanitarian values it represents, but it can also be seen as a method of warfare where law can be a more humane substitute for the nature of warfare.
