Redefined National Security Threats: Tensions and Legal Implications

Keynote, Professor Harold Hongju Koh
The Symposium will explore the tensions, complementarities, and resulting legal implications in three rapidly changing and developing areas of national security: cyber security; new technologies, including domestic drones; and effect of transnational tensions on domestic security, immigration laws, and cross-border security.
Recent developments in the national security law arena demonstrate a strong need for organized and thoughtful discussions on threats and corresponding responses in these areas--both at local, federal and international levels and across the public-private divide. We hope that diverse opinions and approaches to assessing these issues will create an opportunity for stimulating dialogue on the future of national security law.
