One of the Syracuse University Institute for Security Policy and Law’s signature projects, New Battlefields/Old Laws (NBOL) began with a 2007 symposium to commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Hague Convention of 1907.

The project has since grown into an ongoing series of interdisciplinary workshops and publications that reexamine the application of centuries-old customs and laws of armed conflict in the age of asymmetric warfare.

New Battlefields/Old Laws

Background

It has become increasingly clear that a re-examination of the policies and laws for the conduct of armed conflict is required. Toward that end, SPL—working with the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, Israel—has assembled international teams of scholars and practitioners to address the considerable challenges for the future of humanitarian law.

Recent conflicts underscore the shortcomings of international law and policy in responding to asymmetric warfare. The tendencies of terrorists or insurgent groups to operate within civilian communities present significant and unanticipated strategic and tactical challenges for victimized states and citizens.

Neither The Hague Rules, the customary laws of war, nor the post-1949 law of armed conflict and accompanying international humanitarian law, account for non-state groups waging prolonged, “fourth generation” campaigns of terrorism that leave the defending state with little choice but to respond in ways that inflict heavy civilian casualties. The result is that the defending state is often criticized for violating norms that do not accommodate the conflict being waged. At the same time, the defending state lacks adequate guidance in shaping the parameters and details of its response.

NBOL 2019—When Conflicts End & How? ISIS as a Case Study

The 2019 edition of New Battlefields/Old Laws took place at the World Summit on Counterterrorism, Sept. 9-12, 2019, at the Institute for Counter-terrorism (ICT), Herzliya, Israel.

Eighteen years have passed since brutal and deadly attacks on US soil on Sept. 11, 2001, launched a seemingly never-ending conflict, with violence spreading from Afghanistan to Iraq and Yemen.

ISIS’s emergence reignited not only active hostilities but also attacks causing countless casualties in Paris, Brussels, Tunis, and even in a village in Tajikistan. These conflicts involve violent non-state armed groups—first Al Qaeda and the Taliban, and al Qaeda offshoots, and ISIS of course—and those that the idea of a Caliphate inspired all over the world.

Although Guantanamo remains open and many experts believe that ISIS will strike again, questions related to the end of this never-ending war have begun to arise.

This workshop attempted to answer to the following questions: When conflicts end and how? In the context of never-ending wars, how do wars between states differ from wars against non-state actors, if at all? What comes next? The experts at this workshop will explore some of the security and legal issues that will dominate the academic and practitioner discourse going forward and will use ISIS as a case study.

The session was held in memory of the late Gerald Cramer.

Previous NBOL Workshops

NBOL 2018—When Disaster Hits: Threats, Preparedness, and Legal Gaps
The 2018 edition of SPL’s signature initiative New Battlefields/Old Laws took place at the World Summit on Counterterrorism, Sept. 3-6, 2018, at the Institute for Counter-terrorism (ICT), Herzliya, Israel.
Co-chaired by Professor Emeritus William C. Banks and Professor Daphné Richemond-Barak, Head of International Humanitarian Law Desk Law and Security Program, ICT, the theme of this year’s multi-disciplinary NBOL workshop, on September 5, is “When Disaster Hits: Threats, Preparedness, and Legal Gaps.”The workshop will investigate multiple facets of law and policy responses during and after major natural and human disasters.
Papers addressed disaster governance, cyber disasters, mapping and responding to health epidemics and pandemics, and “disaster law,” or the analysis of gaps in national security and international law that disasters can expose. ICT’s annual international summit is the largest and one of the most influential events in the field of counterterrorism. Bringing together academics, scholars, law enforcement officials, and decision-makers, the summit convened around the theme of difficulties liberal democracies face in combatting terrorism, such as striking a balance between democratic values and security.
“Countering terrorism by developing solutions to these dilemmas is not just a strategy, but a true art. This year’s conference will delve into the ‘Art of Counter-Terrorism,’” the workshop organizers write. Five themes highlighted the challenges of combatting terrorism: Assessment and Response; Rationale and Rationality; Motivation and Capability; Terrorism and Democracy; and Recovery and Resilience.Read more about the 2018 ICT workshop.

 

At the 2017 World Summit on Counter-Terrorism—Sept. 11-14 in Herzliya, Israel—SPL convened its 10th New Battlefields/Old Laws (NBOL) workshop.

The battlefield has grown geographically broader in recent years, with conflicts spilling over national boundaries. At the same time, the distinction between peace and war has eroded. Terrorism, in particular, features in both peace and war under quite similar forms. Peace time crises – be they national security crises, health emergencies, natural disasters or financial crises – increasingly trigger issues not that different from those encountered in times of war. This workshop looks at the reasons for this change, the extent of crisis management by various actors, and the crises’ local and global repercussions. Questions of authority, legitimacy, and decision-making in times of governmental transitions will be examined as part of this year’s workshop.

In September 2016, SPL’s signature research project once again convened at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism’s (ICT) World Summit on Counter-Terrorism (Sept. 11-13, 2016), which this year coincided with ICT’s 20th Anniversary.

To highlight two decades of dedicated efforts to confront international terrorism, this year’s ICT conference was called “Unpuzzling Terrorism.” It was devoted to discussions focusing on past, present, and future counterterrorism efforts to address a constantly shifting puzzle.

This year, NBOL was included in a series of ICT 2016 workshops devoted to the discussion of the broader context of terrorism and counterterrorism, examining emerging fields and new trends in the academic study of terrorism and its responses. Along with moderator, William C. Banks, NBOL participants discussed the “Legal Triggers of War on New Battlefields.”

Writes Banks: “The New Battlefields/Old Laws project originated during the Second Lebanon War in 2006. For a full decade, SPL and ICT and its contributors have worked to develop fresh understandings of the legal, policy, and strategic challenges faced when nations are attacked by non-state terrorists and insurgents. The 2016 workshop focused on the questions, ‘What conditions permit a nation state to use force in response to attacks by non-state terrorists?’ In other words, ‘What are the triggers of war?’”

Joining this important conversation were:

  • Dr. Daphné Richemond-Barak, Senior Researcher, ICT
  • Maj. Gen. (Res.) Yoram “Yaya” Yair, Former Commander, Lebanese Sector and Syrian Front, Israel Defense Forces (IDF)*
  • Laurie Blank, Director, International Humanitarian Law Clinic, Emory Law School
  • Col. (Res.) Adv. Daniel Reisner, Former Head, International Law Branch, IDF Legal Division
  • Nathan Sales, Associate Professor, SU College of Law

*Yair is the former Chairman of the IDF Committee that wrote the IDF Code of Ethics on: “Strategic and Operational Factors Influencing the Decision to go to War”

 

ICT and SPL cooperate each year in a project called New Battlefields/Old Laws. This year, the workshop (and a related simulation) explores the threat of Foreign Terrorist Fighters and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2178.

The 2014 World Summit on Counter-Terrorism—hosted by SPL Partner the Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, Israel—once again convened a New Battlefields/Old Laws (NBOL) symposium, on Sept. 10, 2014. NBOL 2014’s theme was “The Next Steps in Counterterrorism: Adapting to an Evolving Threat and an Expanding Battlefield.” Offering incisive and timely analysis of a pressing security issue, the 2014 symposium created three inter-related products analyzing the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) in light of recent developments in asymmetric warfare, counterterrorism, and security in the Middle East.

Oxford Union Debate: “The Future of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.”

The motion debated was, “This House believes that the 2001 AUMF should be amended to authorize force against future terrorist threats.” Presiding over the debate was Laurie Blank of the Emory University School of Law. Speaking in favor of the motion was Nathan Sales of the Syracuse University College of Law. Speaking against was Professor Jennifer Daskal of the American University Washington College of Law.

A Special Roundtable Hosted by Dr. Daphne Richemond-Barak

Dr. Daphne Richemond-Barak of the International Law Desk at ICT hosts a discussion on IDC Radio on the issue on “Adapting to an Evolving Threat and an Expanding Battlefield.” Special guests are Professor William C.

Blog: “Debate on the Future of the 2001 AUMF”

… All that said, both Sales and Daskal agreed that the President should go to Congress to seek new authorization for his planned actions against ISIL. They just disagreed as to what such an authorization ought to look like. Meanwhile, many others have joined the debate on the blogosphere—raising multiple questions about the President’s legal justifications for the strikes … MORE

Overview

The objective of this workshop is to explore the changing scope of the 21st century battlefield – from its geographic parameters to the means of waging battle and the identities and loyalties of the participants. Workshop panelists will focus on emergent, borderless battlefields, tensions between operational practice and traditional legal prescriptions, the changing status of belligerents, and new battlefield means and methods.

Ten years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks there is little doubt that the dynamics of conflict in the world are markedly changed from the post-World War/Cold War environment. In this workshop, our distinguished panelists will assess the scope of the emerging battlefields. From the role of organized crime groups in conflict settings, to technological innovations in the means of warfare, and evolving strategic and regulatory approaches to conflict management, our workshop will critique existing legal and policy prescriptions for regulating conflict, while we forecast how laws and policies may shape the emerging battlefield.

Institute for Counter-Terrorism, Herzliya, Israel | Sept. 14, 2010

SPL hosted a workshop on Sept. 14, 2010, as part of the World Summit on Counterterrorism “Terrorism’s Global Impact” at the International Institute for Counterterrorism’s (ICT) 10th International Conference in Herzliya, Israel.

Participants included:

  • William C. Banks, Director, Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, Board of Advisors Distinguished Professor, Syracuse University, College of Law and Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs
  • Geoffrey S. Corn, Associate Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law, Houston
  • Evan Criddle, Assistant Professor of Law, Syracuse University College of Law
  • Eric Talbot Jensen, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law, Fordham University Law School
  • Daphne Richemond-Barak, Professor, Radzyner School of Law at the IDC, Herzliya
  • Gregory Rose, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Wollongong, Australia
  • Corri Zoli, Research Fellow, Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, Syracuse University.

Overview

As developed and practiced by several nations and their militaries, COIN incorporates forms of persuasive warfare, the so-called “hearts and minds” strategy, in addition to more traditional kill/capture elements. In addition to its blending and mixing of kinetic warfare and post-conflict reconstruction and institution building, COIN takes place in a variety of conflict situations.

Depending on the setting, COIN occurs where there is/is not an armed conflict of an international/non-international nature; where human rights law applies in the absence of or as an addition to IHL; in the face of customary or treaty-based principles of international law; and alongside domestic laws of the nation managing the COIN operation, which may or may not have incorporated international laws as part of the domestic law.

The objective of this workshop is to explore the legal and policy dynamics of COIN in relation to existing understandings of IHL and HRL.

Institute for Counter-Terrorism, Herzliya, Israel | Sept. 10, 2008

Armed conflict often involves weaker, non-state combatants using strategies and tactics forbidden by international humanitarian law to offset their military disadvantage. Conducting a battle is complicated by the fact that the participants cannot readily be labeled in order to determine their status and treatment under the law.

In recognition that the traditional laws and norms of armed conflict no longer provide sufficient guides for combat, this workshop at ICT’s 8th International Conference in Herzliya, Israel, gathered together scholars and practitioners to further the debate about the next steps in adapting international humanitarian law to this form of asymmetric warfare.

 

Washington, DC | Oct. 8, 2007

This project’s inaugural event was held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C. with the following speakers:

  •  Robert Siegel, David Crane, Irwin Cotler, and Michael Scharf, who reviewed the evolving history of the laws of armed conflict and international humanitarian law.
  • Renee de Nevers, Greg Rose,  and Col. Daniel Reisner, who offered proposals from the New Battlefields, Old Laws research project that suggest how rules may be used to limit and govern asymmetric conflicts between states and non-state entities.
  • Tom E. Ricks and panelists Montgomery Meigs, Boaz Ganor, Mitchel Wallerstein, Ruth Wedgwood, and James Ross, who evaluated the prospects and challenges in implementing reforms considering a broad range of perspectives, nations, and legal and policy cultures.
