International Law and the Changing Character of War. Volume 87

Abstract

From June 22 to 24, 2010 the Naval War College hosted over one hundred and eighty renowned international scholars and practitioners, military and civilian, and students representing government and academic institutions to participate in a conference examining a number of international law issues arising from the changing character of war. The conference featured opening, luncheon and closing addresses, as well as five panel discussions addressing specific legal issues that relate to the changing character of war. Panelist comments were summarized by a commentator, followed by questions from attendees. These discussions resulted in detailed examinations of key issues. The following conference summary was prepared by Commander James Caley, JAGC, US Navy, a member of the Navy Reserve unit that supports the Naval War College's International Law Department. The summary recapitulates the highlights of each of the conference speakers' presentations. As co-editors, we are deeply indebted to Commander Caley for his attention to detail and assistance in facilitating the publication of this "Blue Book."
