In an effort to assess this current moment in the United States’s 20 years so-called War on Terror, the International Crisis Group recently released a report, Overkill: Reforming the Legal Basis for the U.S. War on Terror, which charts how the executive branch expanded the use of military force over the last two decades.

This panel features:

Tess Bridgeman, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Just Security, LtCol John Cherry (USMC, Ret.), ICB Attorney, Defense Institute of International Legal Studies,
Loren DeJonge Schulman, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS)
Brian Finucane, Crisis Group U.S. Program Senior Adviser.

Michael Hanna, Crisis Group U.S. Program Director will moderate the discussion.
