U.S. National Security and International Law: The Write Stuff

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Delegation for the United States and Canada and the faculties at the Loyola Law School of Los Angeles, Stanford Law School, and Cardozo Law School announces the 4th Annual Workshop on “Revisiting the Role of International Law in National Security” to be held on 12 July 2019 at the Cardozo Law School in New York City.

The co-organizers hope to drive discussions of public international law, including international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international criminal law, into conversations, in the U.S. in particular, on national security issues and situations of armed conflict. The workshop will focus on scholarship and ideas that seek to bridge partisan political divides while addressing both the law and national interests.

The workshop will provide an opportunity for authors to have their works in progress critiqued by established experts in the field of IHL, and will provide a networking opportunity for participants.

The organizers ask only for papers that will not yet have been accepted for publication at the time of the workshop (i.e. July 12th). The deadline for abstracts is 1 May 2019.

Please email your abstracts with your name and current affiliation to Tracey Begley at trbegley@icrc.org.
