DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Description:=0D=0APanel 1: Anticipatory Self-Defense: The Israeli-Iranian Crisis This panel will explore the background and history of anticipatory self-defense, its distinctions from pre-emption, and explore the legal principle from two varying perspectives. Does Israel have the legal authority to strike Iran? What are the limits of such authority and at what point does such authority cease to exist? Does acceptance of such authority have any impacts on the international community? The assembled distinguished panel will examine the doctrine, debate, and offer perspectives on the immediate crisis with a presidential election looming. Chair: Captain Glenn M. Sulmasy, Chairman, Department of Humanities and Professor of Law, U.S. Coast Guard Academy Panelists: =0D=0AMajor General Charles J.

Damrosch, Henry L. Moses Professor of Law and International Organization and Hamilton Fish Professor of International Law and Diplomacy, Columbia Law School; Co-Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of International Law Panel 2: International Organizations and the Use of Armed Force This panel explores the role of international organizations in the context of evolving norms of international security and the use of armed force. Specifically, this panel will analyze the R2P doctrine, as evidenced by the intervention in Libya and self-defense doctrine as evidenced by interventions in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and other states. What role do international organizations (IOs) and regional organizations (ROs) play in legitimizing these actions? When ROs with overlapping authority differ as to the propriety of a military intervention, which organization’s opinion should trump? Do variables such as membership, respect for human rights, resources, and internal governance matter for assessing the value of a RO’s blessing? The panel will address head-on whether the support or opposition of a regional organization should matter when judging the legitimacy of the use of armed force. Moderator: Vincent J.
