So I welcome a new measured, careful discussion by Emory Law School professor Laurie Blank, describing what proportionality means in the law of targeting (which is a major part of the law of armed conflict). Emory University School of Law The conflict in Gaza is replete with asymmetries: the number of civilian casualties on either side, the amount of destruction, the types of weapons used and technological capabilities. But for both legal and practical reasons, conflating asymmetry and proportionality is both inaccurate and harmful to the law of war's core purposes. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/international/213546-asymmetries-and-proportionalities 93e4afd40ae7209864aeb97c0e2e135e Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:00:00 EDT Laurie R.

But for both legal and practical reasons, conflating asymmetry and proportionality is both inaccurate and harmful to the law of war's core purposes. Asymmetrical does not mean disproportionate, nor does it mean criminal. They are simply wholly different concepts: one a factual game of numbers and one a comprehensive legal analysis. 2014-07-29T12:0:00-04:00 Blank discusses Gaza: Asymmetries and proportionalities The conflict in Gaza is replete with asymmetries: the number of civilian casualties on either side, the amount of destruction, the types of weapons used and technological capabilities.

Blank lblank@emory.edu urn:uuid:93e49c510ae7209864aeb97c7a06606e Transparency is the new buzzword in counterterrorism. Two U.N. special rapporteurs and numerous human rights groups, among others, now regularly call for transparency about drone strikes and other counterterrorism operations. These demands for transparency focus on who is being targeted, who else (namely civilians) is being killed, which governmental agency is launching the strikes, and under what legal rationale such strikes are authorized and carried out. In other words, the transparency debate is about law, not about battle plans, military readiness or other operations questions, but about law and legal analysis. 2014-05-28T12:0:00-04:00 Blank for the Hill, Law of Armed Conflict does not require transparency Professor Laurie Blank discusses transparency in drone strikes, and what the law of war demands.
