International Law Weekend, held on Friday and Saturday at Fordham Law, was mentioned in the online forum Just Security. The article discusses the ongoing battle with ISIL in the Middle East and the likelihood that a U.S. victory will mean an increased number of captured fighters who will need to be detained.
“We do recognize that a successful ISIL plan in Iraq and Syria has the potential to result in an increasing number of detainees,” said Brian Egan, the chief legal officer at the State Department, at an international law conference being held at Fordham University School of Law on Friday.
