3. THE VIEW FROM 30,000 FEET:
A SURVEY OF NATIONAL SECURITY LAW
Whether involving separation of powers, drone strikes, Guantanamo,
FISA warrants, or the International Criminal Court, national security law is an
extremely complex and evolving area of law. This full-day seminar introduces
this topic from various perspectives, including the U.S. and legal architecture
surrounding principles of self-defense, the laws of armed conflict, law enforcement
approaches, intelligence collection, detention issues, war crimes tribunals, and
cybersecurity. As the inaugural program of the Center for National Security
and Human Rights Law, this seminar sets the stage for future programming
in this increasingly relevant field, including lectures, classes, and scholarship.
