Lawfare's Coverage of Legal Issues Regarding Military Action in Syria

The situation in Syria being fluid, and our writers having authored a good number of posts on the subject, I thought it might be useful to compile the blog's work on legal issues, international and domestic, regarding military action in Syria. Thus we'll take a page from our military commissions coverage, and below note links to our recent and Syria-related entries.  Look for this page to be updated and refreshed intermittently, in the coming days, as authors add further commentary.  (For general background on war powers issues, have a look at the blog's Wiki page) Jack Goldsmith, A Quick Primer on AUMFs Jack Goldsmith, Obama's Request to Congress Will Not Hamstring Future Presidents (Except for Some Humanitarian Interventions) Bruce Riedel, Guest Post on Obama's Syria Decision Jack Goldsmith, Congratulations President Obama Matt Waxman, Restoring the Smeared Red Line Jack Goldsmith, Philip Bobbitt on Syria Jack Goldsmith, British Bow Out of Syria Intervention, USG Plunging Ahead Wells Bennett, UK Parliament Votes Down British Military Action in Syria Robert Chesney, The War Powers Resolution and Using Force in Syria  Matt Waxman, Intervention to Stop Atrocities: Kosovo as Predictive Jack Goldsmith, Akande on the Legality of Humanitarian Intervention John Bellinger III, The UK Legal Position on Humanitarian Intervention in Syria: Kosovo Redux Jack Goldsmith, UK Legal Position on Humanitarian Intervention in Syria Rick Pildes, Creating New International Law "Justifications" for Using Military Force Against Syria Ben Wittes, Vacancies at the Top Jack Goldsmith, Hathaway and Shapiro on Syria and the U.N.
