Media Advisory terry.knopf@tufts.edu Thursday, April 10, 2003 617-627-2778; MEDFORD, MASS.--The breathtaking events of the last few weeks in Iraq raise timely and important legal questions concerning the search for Saddam Hussein, POWs and war crimes. On Friday, April 11, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University held a timely day-long conference designed to explore these and other important issues in the face of a changing global order.
The experts also explored larger issues such as whether the unsanctioned war against Iraq undermine existing international legal norms; the legality of the war; the UN has become irrelevant; and, if international law is relevant in a world system dominated by a single (imperial?) state?
