Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election produced the biggest political scandal in a generation, marking the beginning of an ongoing attack on democracy. In the run-up to the 2020 election, Russia was found to have engaged in more "information operations," a practice that has been increasingly adopted by other countries. In Election Interference, Jens David Ohlin makes the case that these operations violate international law, not as a cyberwar or a violation of sovereignty, but as a profound assault on democratic values protected by the international legal order under the rubric of self-determination. He argues that, in order to confront this new threat to democracy, countries must prohibit outsiders from participating in elections, enhance transparency on social media platforms, and punish domestic actors who solicit foreign interference. This important book should be read by anyone interested in protecting election integrity in our age of social media disinformation.

His work stands at the intersection of three related fields: criminal law and procedure, international law, and the laws of war.

He is the author of leading textbooks in international law and criminal law.

'Jens David Ohlin has written a terrific, highly policy-relevant book about the extraordinary harm of election interference. Against the background of Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. elections, Ohlin skillfully unpacks the logic of foreign electioneering, explicating in fascinating detail how, and when, foreign electioneering matters, and why it is deserving of international legal reprobation. An essential primer on a pernicious form of lawfare, Election Interference is a pioneering book.' Jens Meierhenrich, Visiting Associate Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, and the author of Lawfare: A Genealogy
