U.S. DRONE POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST: THE LEGAL, MORAL AND POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS, Thurs, Sept. 25, 6:00-7:30pm, O’Brian Hall 107. The use of drones in military operations is one of the most hotly debated topics in our nation. As the use of drones in military and civilian areas expands, legal and ethical questions regarding their use arise. Join two international experts as they address these critical questions, one from the perspective of U.S. military policy and foreign affairs, the other from the perspective of human rights impacts on civilian populations. Captain Glenn Sulmasy, Chair and Professor at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, will present a talk entitled “Foreign Affairs in Chaos: The Mideast, ISIS and Drones.” Christopher Rogers, Program Officer for the Regional Policy Initiative on Afghanistan & Pakistan of the Open Society Foundations, will follow with a discussion of the impacts of U.S. policy on civilian populations. The panel will be moderated by Prof. Tara J. Melish, Director of the Buffalo Human Rights Center.
