In parallel with the expansion of cyberspace, cyber warfare has also expanded as a tool for exerting power against various countries. The imposition of legal restrictions on them has become inevitable. In the realm of international criminal law, imposing limitations of the laws of war on cyberattacks, which differ from conventional warfare, faces challenges. Because the regulations governing the laws of war and war crimes has been formulated to align with conventional warfare. Yet disruptive cyberattacks on critical infrastructure are a type of cyberwarfare that, without causing physical effects similar to conventional wars and solely through non-physical impacts on a country's vital infrastructure, are considered capable of producing consequences more severe than those of conventional wars. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and gathering materials through a library-based approach, this study addresses its central question whether under the existing framework of the Rome Statute, disruptive cyberattacks on critical infrastructure could constitute war crimes particularly Article 8 on war crimes. Ultimately, it holds the view that by adopting a dynamic interpretation of the concept of 'intensity' under existing regulations, it can be affirmed the possibility of cyber conflict and war crimes via severe disruptions to critical infrastructure. However, this approach will face challenges when dealing with critical infrastructure with dual-use.
