Reevaluating the Rules of the Game in a New Century
Start:  Thursday, June 24, 2004  10:00 AM
End:  Thursday, June 24, 2004  3:00 PM
Location:  Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036
Directions to AEI

Terrorists continue to challenge American forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.  Rogue nations armed with weapons of mass destruction threaten our national security and our allies. And in each instance in which the United States responds directly to these threats, it is accused of violating international law. How is it possible to address new challenges in a manner that effectively protects American national security, is consistent with international law, and remains respectful of American sovereignty? Or must the United States lead the way in designing a new system of international rules to handle new problems? 

Please join AEI on June 24 for a lively debate on the battles--legal and otherwise--ahead.

9:45 a.m.
