Enter the tense frontier where military power, international law, and political calculation collide. This study group explores the Geneva Conventions, the Genocide Convention, the International Criminal Court, America’s shifting legal and political responses, and the soldier’s duty to refuse unlawful orders. We’ll study war crime trials and examine how allegations of actual or threatened war crimes, along with the political pressures surrounding them, have surfaced over the past year. If you’re curious about how law, ethics, and politics intersect when nations go to war, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
