Lawfare Archive: Samuel Moyn on How Warfare Became Both More Humane and Harder to End"
From October 22, 2016: This week, Samuel Moyn, Professor of Law and History at Harvard University, closed out a one-day conference on \u201cThe Next President's Fight Against Terror\u201d at New America with a talk on \u201cHow Warfare Became Both More Humane and Harder to End.\u201d He argues that we\u2019ve moved toward a focus on ending war crimes and similar abuses, rather than a focus on preventing war\u2019s outbreak in the first place. And in his view, the human rights community shares culpability for this problem. It\u2019s an issue that will be of great consequence as the next president takes office amidst U.S. involvement in numerous ongoing military interventions across the globe.
