    Time: 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. (Lunch provided) What legal constraints does the United States face in providing greater support to Syrian insurgents? Does it make a difference if the support, without Syrian government consent or UN Security Council approval, comes in the form of provision of non-lethal assistance to the rebels or the supply of arms or the establishment of a no-fly zone? Can the United States and its NATO allies rely on the Kosovo precedent to act without Security Council authorization? Do the United Nations Charter prohibitions found in Article 2(4) require reinterpretation in light of past precedent and the evolution of the responsibility-to-protect doctrine? What learning stems from the Libya experience? Can the United States and other nation-states lawfully achieve by secret intelligence operations what they cannot undertake openly? Does the Syria experience to date, with over an estimated 70,000 civilian fatalities, offer broader lessons about the functioning and future relevance of the UN Security Council? Davis Robinson of the International Dispute Resolution Group at Crowell & Moring will moderate this panel comprised of Ashley Deeks, University of Virginia Law School; Mona Yacoubian, Stimson Center; and Allan Gerson, AG International Law to discuss these issues. This event is the final of three in a series, cosponsored by the American Society of International Law and the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area's International Law Committee, to address the issue of the use of force.
