There is no question that you cannot govern in a fish bowl. Some secrecy is necessary. But I think we have gone to such an extreme that it has reached a startling stage.

NYU Law School Colloquium

The Law and Security Colloquium is available to NYU Law Students and is taught by the Center’s Faculty Co-Directors.  This colloquium will deal with the broad set of legal issues arising from 9/11 and the war against terrorism. Of special interest to the conveners are problems associated with international law enforcement cooperation, preserving the government's capacity for self-correction under emergency conditions, the stabilization and reconstruction of failed states, the gradual democratization of previously autocratic Islamic states, and the role of international law and multilateral institutions in counter-terrorism and counter-proliferation. The colloquium aims to foster productive discussion on these issues between legal academics and government officials with practical experience.
