LOCATION:758 Cullum Road\, West Point\, United States\, 10996
DESCRIPTION:<p>The United States announced a Global War on Terror in the wake of&nbsp\;the attacks on 11 September&nbsp\;2001\, which&nbsp\;has taken various shapes over the last&nbsp\;twenty&nbsp\;years. This conference will reflect on the ethical dimensions of the history of this war\, its current state\, and its possible futures.&nbsp\;Ethically&nbsp\;(and pragmatically)&nbsp\;there seem to be limits to what military power can do&nbsp\;regarding terrorism. What is its appropriate role? And what is not? What is the proper end state and what is military power&rsquo\;s relation to it?&nbsp\;Does terrorism generate special moral permissions for those combating it? Who might share responsibility for terrorist acts beyond terrorists themselves? Does international law effectively address terrorism? These are among the possible questions to be taken up at our conference on <strong>13-15 October 2021</strong> at West Point.</p>\n<p>Keynote Speakers:</p>\n<p><strong>Secretary Robert M. Gates</strong>\, 22nd U.S. Secretary of Defense</p>\n<p><strong>General (Retired) Martin Dempsey</strong>\, 18th U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff</p>\n<p>Plenary Speakers:</p>\n<p><strong>Saba Bazargan-Forward</strong>\, University of California\, San Diego</p>\n<p><strong>Yitzhak Benbaji</strong>\, Tel Aviv University</p>\n<p><strong>Susanne Burri</strong>\, London School of Economics and Political Science</p>\n<p><strong>Claire Finkelstein</strong>\, University of Pennsylvania Law School</p>\n<p><strong>Helen Frowe</strong>\, Stockholm University</p>\n<p><strong>David Luban</strong>\, Georgetown Law Center\; Stockdale Center\, U.S. Naval Academy</p>\n<p><strong>Mary Ellen O&rsquo\;Connell</strong>\, University of Notre Dame Law School</p>\n<p><strong>David Rodin</strong>\, Principia Advisory\; Oxford Institute of Ethics\, Law\, and Armed Conflict</p>\n<p><strong>Victor Tadros</strong>\, University of Warwick School of Law</p>\n<p><strong>Suzanne Uniacke</strong>\, Charles Sturt University</p>\n<p><strong>Jeremy Waldron</strong>\, New York University School of Law</p>\n<p><strong>Stephen Woodside</strong>\, U.S. Military Academy</p>\n<p>Undergraduate papers will also be presented at the conference.</p>\n<p>Registration (both in-person and online) is now open via a link on the website below.</p>
