The War on Terror and the Laws of War: A Military Perspective - Terrorism and Global Justice Series
Corn, Geoffrey S. (The Presidential Research Professor of Law, The Presidential Research Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law)
In The War on Terror and the Laws of War seven legal scholars, each with experience as military officers, focus on how to strike an effective balance between the necessity of using armed violence to subdue a threat to the nation with the humanitarian interest of mitigating the suffering inevitably associated with that use. Each chapter addresses a specific operational issue, including the national right of self-defense, military targeting and the use ofdrones, detention, interrogation, trial by military commission of captured terrorist operatives, and the impact of battlefield perspectives on counter-terror military operations, while illustrating how the law of armed conflict influences resolution of that issue.
