"A Nuclear Iran: The Legal Implications of a Preemptive National Security Strategy" October 26-27, 2006 Participants included legal scholars that specialize in preemption, use of the military (including the legality of covert operations), the role of international organizations, and use of diplomatic options (such as sanctions), as well as experts in Iranian, Israeli, and Middle Eastern politics and history. They discussed such issues as why Iran wants to be a nuclear power, the regional and international security ramifications of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, the domestic and international legal and political framework governing nuclear proliferation, and the legality and impact of various U.S. and international actions to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Articles written by the panelists will be published by the Syracuse Law Review in its spring book, which will be dedicated solely to the symposium.
