The Texas International Law Journal is hosting a talk titled "Collective Self-Defense in the Age of Non-International Armed Conflicts" with Mr. Brian Finucane from US State Department.
The discussion about the legal bases, desirability, and implications of states invoking collective self-defense in the context of non-international armed conflicts to which the invoking states are not parties. Mr. Finucane and Professor Jinks will discuss both support of state-sponsored forces vs. non-state forces, as when the Obama administration invoked collective self-defense of African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to justify a strike against an Al-Shabaab camp in Somalia; and support of non-state or quasi-state forces vs. state forces, as in the Syria case.
Mr. Finucane serves as an attorney in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the Department of State. He advises the Department on domestic and international legal issues relating to the use of force, war powers, counterterrorism, and war crimes. Prior to joining the Department of State, Brian clerked for the Hon. Carlos Lucero on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. He attended Yale Law School as well as Oxford and Cornell Universities. Before becoming a lawyer, Brian worked as an archaeologist and firefighter.
The talk will be moderated by Professor Derek Jinks from this Law School.
Lunch will be provided from Milto's.
