Bin Laden's War, David A. Westbrook
Bin Laden's War, David A. Westbrook
Buffalo Law Review
The GWOT/Global Jihad is different from prior conflicts (including the ideological struggle of the Cold War), and these differences have important strategic consequences which are not reflected in current US policy. First, US strategy has proceeded on traditional, and inapposite, understandings of the politics that informs this war. Second, radical neofundamentalism is a new form of political organization, attuned to a globalized world, with a distinctive form of violence quite different from the violence organized by the bureaucratic apparatus of a modern professional military grounded in a nation state. Third, the politics of radical neofundamentalism has strategic consequences. On the …

The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act And Its Implications For Private Military Companies, Dustin M. Tipling
The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act And Its Implications For Private Military Companies, Dustin M. Tipling
ExpressO
Private Military Companies (PMCs) are civilian staffed corporations that provide military (and law enforcement) services, logistics, and support under contract to a government both inside and outside the country’s borders. Prior to Congress passing the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction to prosecute civilians accompanying United States’ Armed Forces overseas. This article will specifically address how the United States exercises jurisdiction and prosecutes the civilian employees of PMCs in United States courts for crimes they have committed in foreign countries while working under contract to the United States government.
Forcing Them To Be Free: Bush's Project For The Muslim World, Ali Khan
Forcing Them To Be Free: Bush's Project For The Muslim World, Ali Khan
Ali Khan
Employing evangelical rhetoric, the Bush administration has launched an ambitious plan to bring democracy to the Muslim world. Several past presidents of the United States have endorsed the concept of popular government for various reasons. President George W. Bush draws on democracy to fight Islamist terrorism and spread liberty. The proposed democratisation of Muslim nations embodies a complex blend of American self-interest and the paternalistic American desire to reform the world. It is unclear whether the democracy initiative will survive the Bush government. The next president may scrap the entire project as unworkable or too expensive. However, if the US …

Linking The International Legal Framework To Building The Formal Foundations Of A "State At Risk", Michael Schoiswohl
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article describes and critically assesses the recent constitution-making process in Afghanistan in relation to the international legal framework. The Article provides an account of that process within the larger context of the state-building efforts as envisioned in the 2001 Bonn Agreement. Focusing on the interaction between national state-building and international normative benchmarks, the Article evaluates the extent to which the recently adopted Constitution links to the international legal framework. While paying lip service to the adherence of international law, including international human rights law, the Constitution does not adequately address the relationship between international legal obligations and municipal law. …

Contractors On The “Battlefield”: Providing Adequate Protection, Anti-Terrorism Training, And Personnel Recovery For Civilian Contractors Accompanying The Military In Combat And Contingency Operations, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Faculty Articles
American civilian employees serving overseas in hostile environments are dying because their parent companies and the U.S. military are failing to provide adequate protection, antiterrorism (“AT”) training, or both. Contractors must be properly informed, trained, and equipped not only to understand their own rights and obligations, but also to understand those of the U.S. military and the parent contractor company because of the physical dangers inherent in such asymmetrical conflicts. Specified AT training is not a mandatory component of contractor deployment, leaving many contract personnel ill-prepared and under-equipped to operate in locations plagued by the threat of car bombs, suicide …
