Richard Falk: International Law and The Nature of Security

In this Symposium on International Law and the Quest for Security, Professor Richard Falk discusses the origins of the modern state and the issue of sustaining internal order and security amid an international environment in which terrorists groups that are not territorial can inflict severe damage within sovereign states. Professor Falk also talks about issues of war and peace and the relationship between the world's primary superpower and the United Nations in relation to the current Iraq/US conflict.

@saleha250 Go to a Law School that teaches it. Most law schools do now

[surlyotter]

@saleha250 Either go to a school like the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (at Tufts) or choose international law (whether environmental, humanitarian, trade, financial, or other) as a field of study at your law school.

@saleha250 Go to a school like the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, or study whichever domain of international law interests you (environmental trade, financial, humanitarian, etc.) as a field at your Law School.
