The analysis critiques other mechanisms, like torture warrants, for their potential to facilitate abuse, and highlights the necessity defense's ability to balance accountability and extreme exigency.

Humanity And National Security: The Law Of Mass Atrocity Response Operations, Keith A. Petty

Michigan Journal of International Law

Among the greatest threats to global security is the slaughter of civilians. This is due to the inconsistent reaction of the international community to genocide and other atrocity crimes. Whether it was the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in Turkey in 1915 or Rwandan Tutsis in 1994, mass murderers act with impunity when there is not a forceful response. Contrast these situations to Vietnam’s intervention in Cambodia in 1978 that put an end to the Khmer Rouge’s nightmarish killing fields, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) intervention in Kosovo in 1999 that protected ethnic Albanians from Serb …

Analogous to the Dreyfus affair, America's reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, subverted the rule of law to impose penalties on those it viewed as a threat. There are lessons to be learned from both the Dreyfus affair and America's reaction to September 11, 2001.

Testimony Before Congress

Mr. Chairman, almost twelve years have gone by since the passage of the AUMF on September 14, 2001. The war in Afghanistan–-the longest war in U.S. history--has begun to wind down. But at the same time, a far more shadowy war has quietly accelerated.

Civilian Harm From Drone Strikes: Assessing Limitations & Responding To Harm, Human Rights Clinic 2013 Columbia Law School

Civilian Harm From Drone Strikes: Assessing Limitations & Responding To Harm, Human Rights Clinic

Human Rights Institute

U.S. intelligence officials tout the drone platform as enabling the most precise and humane targeting program in the history of warfare.
