Harold Hongju Koh of Yale Law School discusses his new book, The National Security Constitution for the 21st Century, which examines the structural and systemic reasons for the dangerously increased strength of the executive branch of government in the U.S., and its implications for American use of force, foreign relations, and international law. We discuss not only the evolution and implications of these systemic failures, but also his recommendations for reform, and the role of lawyers and legal scholars in responding to the problem, and even revisit his own role in government in the context of these issues. Finally, we discuss how a second Trump administration makes the prospect of reform more difficult, and the outlook for international law more fraught - but ultimately we end on an optimistic and even inspiring note.

JIB/JAB - Episode 28: The War in Ukraine - Jus ad Bellum Implications
A conversation about the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Professors Eliav Lieblich of Tel Aviv University, Marko Milanovic of the University of Nottingham, and Ingrid Wuerth of Vanderbilt Law School. We focus on how we should be thinking about the implications of this war for the jus ad bellum regime and the collective security system going forward. While the invasion is clearly an unlawful and egregious act of aggression, have unlawful uses of force by Western states served to weaken the legal regime? Has our focus on humanitarian issues and human rights law weakened the system? Is this war a failure of the collective security system, and are the wrong lessons being drawn, particularly for nuclear non-proliferation? How should we try to restore the order going forward? A fascinating discussion about vital issues.
