Topics for discussion tentatively include: targeted killings, the International Criminal Court, the emerging international law of cyberspace, the challenge of closing Guantanamo, the War Powers and Responsibility to Protect, and Corporate Liability for Human Rights Violations. A two-hour examination will be required. This course will meet on the following six Fridays in Spring 2013: 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/15, 3/22, and 4/5.
