Panel Discussion: "Military Ethics in Age of Terrorism: Comparative Perspectives"

October 28, 2007, 6-8pm

The impact of global terrorism on the ethics of warfare is a subject of ongoing debate among policymakers, scholars, and thoughtful citizens. Should this novel threat alter the moral constraints ordinarily imposed on combatants, and if so, how and why?

This panel, the Center for Jewish Law's inaugural public event, will feature specialists in Jewish law, Islamic law, Constitutional law, and moral philosophy. Panelists will include Suzanne Last Stone, Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School and Director, Center for Jewish Law and Contemporary Civilization; Sohail Hashmi, Associate Professor of International Relations, Mount Holyoke College; George P. Fletcher, Cardozo Professor of Jurisprudence, Columbia Law School; and Daniel Statman, Professor of Philosophy, Haifa University.

The panel discussion will take place in Cardozo Law School's Moot Court Room. Registration is free and open to the public. To register, please call 212-790-0258, or email jewishlaw@yu.edu.
