The Israeli Supreme Court has a “huge amount of power while the foundation of that power is paper thin,” says Benjamin Wittes, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and editor-in-chief of the Lawfare Blog, in an interview with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer.  This problematic combination, Wittes says, is why the Supreme Court is now “particularly vulnerable. It's as if you've built this giant and extremely powerful weapon, but built it on a pillar of sand.”  In a deep dive, Wittes explains and analyzes each of the controversial reforms planned by the Netanyahu government, their implications for the U.S.-Israel relationship and the likelihood that, if they pass, Israel's arguments for resisting international tribunals will be weakened.  Some elements of the judicial reform, Wittes warns, are “corrupt” and “very dangerous.” And speaking personally as a legal scholar and expert who has “engaged deeply” with Israel in the past, he says that if the reforms are implemented, it would “fundamentally change my regard for the integrity of the Israeli legal system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On 25 Aug 2022, the US Department of Defense released its Civilian Harm and Mitigation Response Plan, which has been created, in part as a result of the public scrutiny on civilian casualty incidents following the Iraq campaign. In this episode, Dr Lauren Sanders speaks with Marc Garlasco, who has been intimately involved with this issue, having been engaged in stakeholder engagement with the US DoD during their development of this plan when it was announced on 27 Jan 2022. Marc has a long history of observing and reporting on civilian casualty incidents, using his understanding of the process garnered from his time as a  a US intelligence analyst.  He has served with HRW, as a senior civilian protection officer for United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA);  and as the U.N. senior military advisor for the Human Rights Council's (HRC) Independent Commission of Inquiry on Libya, where he investigated civilian casualties while leading a survey of NATO's activities in Libya. He has worked with CNA on civilian harm mitigation, and co-hosts his own podcast, Civilian Protection with CIVIC.He has been engaged in this Action Plan through his work with the NGO PAX since 2021 and will be talking to us today about the history of this Action Plan and his views on what it might do to address the causal issues identified across the numerous projects that have been analysing the contributing factors that result in civilian casualties.Edited by Rosie Cavdarski.Additional ResourcesMarco Garlasco, ‘Defense Department Finally Prioritizes Civilians in Conflict,' Lawfare Blog (29 August 2022)  Dan E.

Bobby Chesney is the Dean of the University of Texas School of Law and at the time of our interview, he served as Director of the Strauss Center for International Security and Law – the center who made this podcast possible! On this episode Alex and Bobby define and discuss deep fakes and the philosophical ponderings of what happens when you cannot trust what you see online. We also dive more deeply into the legal implications of disinformation and various attempts to regulate that may impact our first amendment rights. Bobby's scholarship focuses on U.S. national security policies and institutions, encompassing both domestic and international law issues. He's written open-source academic text books on cyber security policy and law as well as intelligence and national security as it dovetails with surveillance and covert action. He is a veritable fount of knowledge and has also focused research around deep fakes, a specific area of disinformation, with Danielle Citron of UVA.

Willkommen auf der dunklen Seite der Macht! Nachhaltige Digitalisierung und digitalisierte Nachhaltigkeit sind als Themen längst bei den Vereinten Nationen angekommen. Dennoch wird im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs wenig über die Schattenseiten der Digitalisierung einerseits und die Gefahren für die Cyber-Security andererseits gesprochen. Diese Lücke möchte unser Podcast-Team schließen und so widmen sich Franziska (UNhörbar) und Vanessa (UNrecht) in dieser Kooperationsfolge diesem wichtigen Thema. Ihre Gäste – Matthias Kettemann und Matthias Schulze, entzaubern nicht nur Internetmythen. Sie klären zudem über Gefahren im Internet Wild West auf und richten dabei gleichzeitig den Blick auf die Völkerrechtlichen Grundlagen und Normen im Cyberraum. Inhalte: Bedeutung von Internet-Governance und Völkerrecht im Internet. Wie ist die Rechtslage? Rahmenbedingungen der Internetregulierung erfassen: kein Rüstungskontrollvertrag, keine umfassenden Begrenzungssysteme Bedrohungslagen verstehen: Hacker-Angriffe, Crypto Wars und Cyber-Rüstungswettlauf, aber auch: Hate speech und digitale Gewalt auf Plattformen Was tun die Vereinten Nationen mit Blick auf Cybersecurity?
