DESCRIPTION:Le professeur René Provost et le Centre sur les droits de la pe
 rsonne et le pluralisme juridique accueillent Jameel Jaffer (Columbia U.) 
 qui sera à la Faculté pour parler de son livre\, The Drone Memos: Targeted
  Killings\, Secrecy and the Law\, lequel traite du programme de drone amér
 icain pour effectuer des assassinats ciblés.\n\n[la suite an anglais]\n\nA
 bout The Drone Memos\n\nThe Drone Memos collects for the first time the le
 gal and policy documents underlying the U.S. government’s controversial pr
 actice of “targeted killing”—the extrajudicial killing of suspected terror
 ists and militants\, typically using drones.\n\nThe documents—including th
 e Presidential Policy Guidance that provides the framework for drone strik
 es today\, Justice Department white papers addressing the assassination of
  an American citizen\, and a highly classified legal memo that was publish
 ed only after a landmark legal battle involving the ACLU\, the New York Ti
 mes\, and the CIA—together constitute a remarkable effort to legitimize a 
 practice that most human rights experts consider to be unlawful and that t
 he United States has historically condemned.\n\nJaffer\, who led the ACLU 
 legal team that secured the release of many of the documents\, evaluates t
 he “drone memos” in light of domestic and international law. He connects t
 he documents’ legal abstractions to the real-world violence they allow\, a
 nd makes the case that we are trading core principles of democracy and hum
 an rights for the illusion of security.\n\nAbout Jameel Jaffer\n\nDirector
  of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University and former
  Deputy Legal Director of the ACLU\, Jaffer oversaw the ACLU’s work relati
 ng to national security for almost a decade and litigated some of the most
  significant cases concerning U.S. counterterrorism policy after 9/11.\n\n
 A prominent commentator and speaker on issues relating to civil liberties 
 and human rights\, Jaffer has written for the New York Times\, the Los Ang
 eles Times\, The Guardian\, Index on Censorship\, and the Harvard Law Revi
 ew Forum. He is the author of The Drone Memos: Targeted Killing\, Secrecy\
 , and the Law (The New Press) and co-author with Amrit Singh of Administra
 tion of Torture: A Documentary Record from Washington to Abu Ghraib and Be
 yond.\n\nCanadian Journalists for Free Expression awarded Jaffer the Vox L
 ibera Award in 2015 and Foreign Policy magazine listed him as one of its “
 Top 100 Global Thinkers” in 2012.\n\nUne demande d'accréditation pour 1 he
 ure de formation continue obligatoire pour juristes a été déposée.\n
