Part 6 - Strengthening Cybersecurity
Advances in technology over the past several decades have resulted in a world that is highly dependent on the security and reliability of computing systems. The reliance
on these systems has opened up the world to the threat of cyber operations that can influence everything from secure communications between governments to the control and management of weapons technologies to public access to information. International law
has long struggled with how to address cyber operations and took a significant step forward in 2013 with the Tallinn Manual, which covered the major issues of conflict and cybersecurity. President Trump has repeatedly identified cybersecurity as an issue important
to his administration.

International
Law and the Trump Administration: An Online Series - Part 7 - Nuclear Security and Non-Proliferation
07/26/2017 -
11:30am to
12:30pm
Free Live Online Event
The international system put in place to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons has faced major challenges in recent years, with unstable governments
and non-state actors accelerating their efforts to acquire nuclear weapons capabilities. The United States has long been a leader of international efforts to limit the spread of such weapons, through the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban
Treaty, and other international agreements. President Trump has expressed skepticism about arms limitation agreements, including the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program and the New START treaty between the U.S. and Russia. He
has said that the U.S. "must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes."

Law and the Trump Administration: An Online Series - Part 8 - The Use of Force under International Law

11:30am to
12:30pm
Free Live Online Event
The United States pursues a range of policy options in serving its national interests, from diplomacy to sanctions and other coercive measures
to the use of military force. At various times, such measures have been undertaken unilaterally, or pursuant to Security Council authorization, or in accordance with obligations arising under international security agreements. In its first months in office,
the Trump Administration has continued military operations conducted by previous administrations against ISIS and other non-state actors, and recently launched a unilateral missile strike against a Syrian government target in response to the use of chemical
weapons against Syrian civilians.
