DESCRIPTION:Soyez des nôtres pour un atelier de théorie du droit avec la pr
 ofesseure. Sari Kisilevsky (CUNY)\, qui parlera d'un article sur lequelle 
 elle travaille actuellement qui traite des procès de combattants ennemis é
 trangers par des tribunaux militaires.\n'On Dec. 31\, 2011\, despite wides
 pread controversy\, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorizat
 ion Act into law.1 Among other things\, this legislation codified the gove
 rnment’s practice of detaining foreign enemy combatants without charge\, a
 nd reaffirmed its policy of trying them in military commissions. The signi
 ng of this legislation\, along with the recent targeted killing of an Amer
 ican citizen for engaging in terrorist activities\, evidence of a secret “
 kill list” maintained by the President\,3 and news that the US government 
 is engaged in indiscriminate monitoring of people’s phone and internet act
 ivity are stark examples of the extent to which the US government will ign
 ore legal procedure in its prosecution of the “war on terrorism.”\nThere i
 s no legal reason compelling the trial of foreign suspects in military com
 missions rather than federal courts\; federal courts have the jurisdiction
  to try these foreigners accused of war crimes and terrorism suspects\, an
 d established rules for governing such trials. The primary justification t
 hat the government has offered is its need to “balance” Americans’ liberty
  against a heightened threat to security. In times of danger\, the thought
  goes\, the government must limit people’s liberty in light of this height
 ened threat in order to protect people from the increased risks to their s
 ecurity. I will call this the argument from balance. My aim in what follow
 s is to evaluate its moral legitimacy with respect to the US government’s 
 policy of trying enemy belligerents in military commissions rather than in
  federal courts.'\nLa conférencière\n(En anglais seulement) Assistant Prof
 essor of Philosophy Sari Kisilevsky previously held the Pearl and Nathan H
 alegua Chair in Ethics and Tolerance. In addition to her affiliation with
