DESCRIPTION:About the event: Can international law and ethics lead to great
 er protection of civilians in war? How can these norms influence military 
 conduct on the battlefield? This talk examines whether and how internation
 al law and ethical norms can contribute to the protection of civilians in 
 war. Governments and militaries invest substantial resources in training s
 oldiers in the law of armed conflict and professional military ethics\, ye
 t there is limited empirical evidence about whether these norms meaningful
 ly shape conduct on the battlefield. Drawing on combatant surveys\, interv
 iews\, and data on U.S. Army prosecutions\, this research analyzes U.S. op
 erations in Afghanistan and Iraq to assess how legal and ethical norms inf
 luence the behavior of combatants and the treatment of civilians during mi
 litary operations.\n\nAbout the speaker: Andrew Bell is a Senior Research
