My friend and colleague Tracy Reynolds, Staff Judge Advocate to U.S. Naval Medical Forces Atlantic, will lead a fascinating Dune II-contemporaneous panel next week.
Zoom registration is open and free for Friday, March 29, at 12 noon US EDT.
International Humanitarian Law in Space:
Lessons Learned from the Fall of House Atreides
What can we learn about resource scarcity, insider threats, and over-reliance on technology from Frank Herbert's novel Dune and its recent film adaptation? How may these lessons be applied in outer space, on the Moon, or on Mars? Join the American Red Cross IHL Program as our panel of distinguished legal experts examine a wide range of issues, from great power competition on Arrakis to the conduct of hostilities between the Atreides, Harkonnen, and Fremen.
The panel comprises:
- CDR Tracy Reynolds, United States Navy JAG Corps
- David Kohnen, the Captain Tracy Barrett Kittredge Scholar of War Studies and Maritime History at the US Naval War College
- Michelle L.D. Hanlon, Co-Director of the Air and Space Law Program at the University of Mississippi School of Law and its Center for Air and Space Law
- Thomas Harper, Senior Counsel, International Humanitarian Law, American Red Cross National Headquarters
- Namrata Goswami, author of Scramble for the Skies The Great Power Competition to Control the Resources of Outer Space
The program is sponsored by the American Red Cross and supported by the Space Law Interest Group of the American Society of International Law.
