ReportsRights, Liberties, and the Rules of EngagementThe Ninth Annual Travers Ethics Conference: May, 2005 Bringing together experts in the study of violent conflict, criminal justice, U.S. foreign policy, international law, human rights and humanitarian law, and international justice, this conference sought to examine how the laws and practices that govern state conduct during war are changing and will continue to change in the next decade. Guided by a concern that neither the laws of war nor the domestic criminal justice system is entirely appropriate for current conflicts, the conference considered the possibility of developing new rules and norms governing state behavior during wartime, and the role of the United States in such an effort. See the full report on this conference in PDF: 2005 Travers Ethics Conference. The Big Bang ProjectThe "Big Bang Project" (BBP) is the brainchild of former Assistant to the Secretary of Defense Harold Smith, who named it as he did to draw attention to a situation he believes to be "highly lethal and impossible to deter." With a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from MIT, Smith began his career at Berkeley in 1960 as a hopeful proponent of the peaceful atom. During five years with the Pentagon (1993-98), he worked in Washington, D.C. and Sergeyev Posad, a small town north of Moscow, overseeing nuclear disarmament and anti-proliferation programs. He is back at Berkeley, as a distinguished visiting scholar at the Goldman School of Public Policy. See the full report on this project in the article "Nuclear Fallout" by Mark Dowie, published in the California Monthly, a publication of the California Alumni Association. |
