Global Legal Challenges: Command of the Commons, Strategic Communications and Natural Disasters
Abstract
The US Naval War College hosted its sixth annual International Law Conference during June 2006. The purpose of these conferences is to bring together international scholars and practitioners, military experts and students to examine legal issues impacting military operations of the day. Commencing with the inaugural conference in 2001, the Naval War College's internationally acclaimed International Law Studies ("Blue Book") series has been devoted to the conference subjects. This edition of the "Blue Book" continues that tradition. During 28-30 June, 2006, the Naval War College conducted a conference entitled Global Legal Challenges: Command of the Commons, Strategic Communications and Natural Disasters. Three main challenges were explored by the conference: Threats emanating from the global commons and the need to identify and counter those threats; Combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, events that occurred during those operations and worldwide perceptions of the US role in and responsibility for those events; and Natural disasters of such magnitude international responses were required, including within the United States of America. This volume of the International Law Studies series is a compilation of remarks made during the colloquium and articles which expand upon the thoughts articulated during the colloquium by the authors.
