22 Oct Recording of Seminar on Targeted Killing and Al-Aulaqi
On Thursday night I had the privilege of participating in a live webinar on targeted killing and Al-Aulaqi held by the Harvard Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research. The other participants included Yale’s Andrew March, Emory’s Laurie Blank, and Seton Hall’s Jonathan Hafetz. It was a wonderful, wide-ranging discussion, one that focused not only on the international-law aspects of targeted killing (Blank and me), but also on Al-Aulaqi’s history and beliefs (March) and the ACLU/CCR lawsuit (Hafetz).
If anyone is interested in listening to the webinar, the audio recording is available here. My presentation — which systematizes and expands on many of the points I’ve discussed here on the blog — starts about 75 minutes in. If I didn’t make any sense, blame the fact that I conducted the presentation from a Sydney hotel room at 1:30 in the morning…
Here’s the link to March’s recent paper, “Anwar Al-‘Awlaqi Against the Islamic Legal Tradition,” at SSRN: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1681566
Wow! Thanks for the link. Very high quality discussions in that program. Look forward to hearing it.
