With growing attention to the legal implications of unmanned drone attacks (LA Times reported yesterday that the US is considering expanding its campaign to Quetta), the latest International Humanitarian Law Live Seminar at Harvard’s Humanitarian Law and Policy Forum is particularly timely. The title is “Unmanned Weapons and Challenges to International Humanitarian Law” and it will be webcast live Thursday morning at 9:30 eastern time. Register to attend here, or join the group’s Facebook page. I’ll check in with thoughts and analysis after I listen, but nothing beats hearing these kinds of discussions live.
