Flying into the Future: Drone Warfare and the Changing Face of Humanitarian Law Keynote Address to the 2010 Sutton Colloquium

摘要

It is a delight to be here today, particularly in the presence of Professor Ved Nanda. I do hope that you realize how privileged you are to be here under his tutelage, and I salute him as one whose influence has affected both the content of the law and the character of those who have learned from him in this great law school. The discussion regarding the scope and propriety of drone warfare cannot be undertaken in isolation. Drones and the parameters of their appropriate use are very much at the forefront of the modern consciousness, and thus I think it wholly appropriate to carefully consider the best way ahead for both the legal profession and the profession of arms.
