With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the horizon, a group of distinguished judges and lawyers, faculty, trustees, alumni, and their guests gathered in Buenos Aires in mid-July for a three-day National Security and Civil Liberties conference co-convened by Dorit Beinisch, president of the Supreme Court of Israel, and University Professor Jeremy Waldron. The group discussed the implementation and interpretation of international law by national courts in the fight against terrorism, protection of rights in times of war, the courts’ role in counterterrorism measures, and judicial review of security issues, as well as examining models of military justice and criminal law enforcement.
