DESCRIPTION:ANNUAL LEONARD AND SHIRLEY GOLDSTEIN LECTURE ON HUMAN RIGHTS \n
 \n \n\nThis lecture will reconstruct the origins of humanitarian law: the 
 attempt to impose legal rules on the conduct of war with the goal of reduc
 ing war’s brutality. From the start\, some thinkers have worried that im
 plementing laws of war would backfire\, or even make war permanent. The ta
 lk will reflect on the implications of recent wars since 9/11/2001\, exami
 ning whether these worries were misplaced or well-founded.\n\n \n\n... \n\
