LAW 9196 - Laws of War: Contemporary Debates

This seminar will examine four new phenomena that are placing stress on the system: new actors fighting armed conflicts (terrorist groups, private contractors); new weapons (drones, robots, and cyber weapons); new public scrutiny (Wikileaks, embedded journalists); and an expanding role for courts in adjudicating how states should apply the laws of war (Guantanamo habeas cases).
