Summary: In this week's live seminar, our panelists examined legal and policy challenges pertaining to the use of force outside traditional zones of military operations, including allegations of "targeted killing" and "extrajudicial killing." They reviewed recent counterterrorism operations and litigation concerning whether those operations are lawful by reference to recent counterterrorism operations involving the use of force outside traditional notions of the “battlefield." The discussion was moderated by Claude Bruderlein and Naz Modirzadeh. Panelists included: Laurie Blank (International Humanitarian Law Clinic, Emory University School of Law), Jonathan Hafetz (Seton Hall Law School), Kevin Jon Heller (Melbourne Law School), and Andrew March (Yale Law School).
