“In the 21st Century, is terrorism limited to the seizure of vessels on the high seas or does it include measures such as depriving others of food or shutting off the water supply to communities as a whole?” - SNESL Dean Robert Ward

This conference will explore the definitions of both terrorism and armed conflict, the difficult balancing act of ensuring national security while preserving human rights, and investigate how other areas such as the environment, immigration, micro-financing, and rule of law initiatives relate to developing better solutions within the law.

We will also examine how the international community has responded to terrorism, both historically and recently, though international and regional agreements, the UN system, and in customary law.
