Due Process And Targeted Killing Of Terrorists, Richard Murphy, Afsheen John Radsan
Due Process And Targeted Killing Of Terrorists, Richard Murphy, Afsheen John Radsan
Faculty Scholarship
"Targeted killing" is extra-judicial, premeditated killing by a state of a specifically identified person not in its custody. States have used this tool, secretly or not, throughout history. In recent years, targeted killing has generated new controversy as two states in particular-Israel and the United States-have struggled against opponents embedded in civilian populations. As a matter of express policy, Israel engages in targeted killing of persons it deems members of terrorist organizations involved in attacks on Israel. The United States, less expressly, has adopted a similar policy against al Qaeda-particularly in the border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the …
Change Versus Continuity At Obama’S Cia, Afsheen John Radsan
Change Versus Continuity At Obama’S Cia, Afsheen John Radsan
Faculty Scholarship
Sweeping change is necessary at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). During President Barack Obama‘s transition into office, change should go deeper than usual between administrations. To restore the trust of the American people and to regain the confidence of the international community, the CIA needs to do better. I will outline three areas for legislative change relating to my former employer, the CIA. The first proposal is to have a national security court for the trials of terrorists. The second is to permit the CIA to continue to have an exception to pursue aggressive interrogations with a lot of oversight …
An Overt Turn On Covert Action, Afsheen John Radsan
An Overt Turn On Covert Action, Afsheen John Radsan
Faculty Scholarship
Long past the soul-searching of Watergate, very few people question the need for covert action as a part of American foreign policy. The world is so dangerous after 9/11 that it would be irresponsible to suggest that our intelligence agencies should be disbanded or that our government should acknowledge everything it does on the dark side. Today the question is not whether we should engage in covert action at all, but how often and under what circumstances.
Not everything stays secret. Our Nation has been conducting covert action with greater transparency and more congressional participation than during the Cold War. …
Human Dignity, Humiliation, And Torture, David Luban
Human Dignity, Humiliation, And Torture, David Luban
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Modern human rights instruments ground human rights in the concept of human dignity, without providing an underlying theory of human dignity. This paper examines the central importance of human dignity, understood as not humiliating people, in traditional Jewish ethics. It employs this conception of human dignity to examine and criticize U.S. use of humiliation tactics and torture in the interrogation of terrorism suspects.
Jupiter As Everyman: Michael Reisman And The Scholar As Teacher, James E. Baker
Jupiter As Everyman: Michael Reisman And The Scholar As Teacher, James E. Baker
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
These are Chief Judge Baker’s remarks reflecting on the scholarship of Professor Michael Reisman in the field of national security law. Chief Judge Baker comments that Professor Reisman is a prolific writer and Scholar-Teacher dedicated to the study of force, minimization of suffering, and the advancement of human dignity and the law. He discusses how Professor Reisman’s work is distinctive in that it identifies and incorporates the critical influence of process, both formal and informal, in decisionmaking, which sometimes overshadows substance.
Deep Secrecy, David E. Pozen
Deep Secrecy, David E. Pozen
Faculty Scholarship
This Article offers a new way of thinking and talking about government secrecy. In the vast literature on the topic, little attention has been paid to the structure of government secrets, as distinct from their substance or function. Yet these secrets differ systematically depending on how many people know of their existence, what sorts of people know, how much they know, and how soon they know. When a small group of similarly situated officials conceals from outsiders the fact that it is concealing something, the result is a deep secret. When members of the general public understand they are being …
The Law Of Armed Conflict And Detention Operations In Afghanistan, Matthew C. Waxman
The Law Of Armed Conflict And Detention Operations In Afghanistan, Matthew C. Waxman
Faculty Scholarship
In reflecting on the arc of US and coalition detention operations in Afghanistan, three key issues related to the law of armed conflict stand out: one substantive, one procedural and one policy. The substantive matter – what are the minimum baseline treatment standards required as a matter of international law? – has clarified significantly during the course of operations there, largely as a result of the US Supreme Court's holding in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld. The procedural matter – what adjudicative processes does international law require for determining who may be detained? – eludes consensus and has become more controversial …
