Targeted Killings and the Law of War
The use of targeted killings, through drone strikes and other means, raises questions of U.S. and international law, with long-term implications in the military, human rights, civil rights, and diplomatic arenas. Our panel of leaders in law and foreign policy explored several of the thorny issues surrounding a program facing growing scrutiny at home and abroad.
Featuring John Bellinger, Partner, Arnold & Porter, and former Legal Adviser, U.S. Department of State; Sarah Cleveland, Professor, Columbia Law School, and former Counselor on International Law, U.S. Department of State; Jameel Jaffer, Deputy Legal Director, American Civil Liberties Union; Martin Lederman, Professor, Georgetown University Law Center, and former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice; and Benjamin Wittes, Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution.
