The 2015 LENS Conference, Law in the Age of 'Forever War', focuses on the legal issues that accompany warfare in a time when technology, relationships between nations, and the abilities of non-state actors to affect the international stage, are all changing rapidly. Speakers address some of the difficult issues that have come to define modern law as it relates to warfare: targeting, surveillance, home-grown terrorism, intelligence gathering in the digital age, ensuring human rights and civil liberties.

A panel of experts discuss how humanitarian law and the law of war is impacted by the increased use of drone warfare, cyber attack, and other newly emergent weapons.

Moderator: Prof. William Banks, Professor of Law and Director, Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, Syracuse University Law School
Prof. Geoffrey Corn, South Texas College of Law
Ms. Andrea Prasow, Human Rights Watch
Prof. Sean Watts, Creighton University School of Law

Panel title: Drones, Cyber, and More: International Humanitarian Law and the Path Ahead.
