#justsecurity #warcrimes ndeed, the United States has traditionally served as a leader in this sphere, developing an entire methodology for determining the collateral effects of munitions on various types of targets (“Collateral Damage Estimation” or “CDE”); a process in which we have both advised in real-time. See Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (“CJCSI”) 3160.01D, “No-Strike and the Collateral Damage Estimation Methodology,” last published May 2021 (2012 public version). The United States maintains a database of facilities on a “No Strike List,” or “NSL,” which divides civilian structures in two protected categories. Notably, nuclear power plants appear on the higher of those categories on the NSL, while nearly all other civilian structures—including electric-generating power plants—are recognized to hold standard no-strike protections. 🧵

"The letter, published on website of te policy journal #JustSecurity, highlighted Trump’s comment last month tt US may conduct strikes on Iran “just for fun”. It also cited comments by defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, who told reporters tt te US didn't fight w “stupid rules of engagement”. The experts said they were “seriously concerned abt strikes tt hv hit schools, health facilities & homes”, noting an attack on a school in [Minab] on te 1st day of te war tt killed >160 children & teachers"

International Law and the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement Operations in Venezuela (Michael Schmitt, Ryan Goodman and Tess Bridgeman | Just Security, 2026-01-04)
https://www.justsecurity.org/127981/international-law-venezuela-maduro/
———>> In this article, we explain several international law issues raised by the operation...
>> The bottom line is, … this operation, striking Venezuela and abducting its president, is clearly a violation of the prohibition on the use of force in Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. That prohibition is the bedrock rule of the international system that separates the rule of law from anarchy, safeguards small States from their more powerful neighbors, and protects civilians from the devastation of war. The consequences of flouting this rule so brazenly are likely to extend well beyond the case of Maduro’s forcible ouster…

[en] "Whitewashing sends a dangerous message to extremists"
"#Violence in the name of the ruling party will be pardoned, if not encouraged."
A somewhat #controversial text by "a 9/11 first responder" in "Just Security", affiliated with New York #University School of Law. It associates post-9/11-#surveillance with "stronger defenses against both transnational and domestic #terrorism".
But:
"When the line between #counterterrorism and domestic surveillance blurs, #democracy itself is threatened."
"The difference now is who the tools are aimed at, if they are being politicized, who controls them, how transparent their use is, and how weak the guardrails are in protecting the rights of U.S. persons."

Remember when #Trump told people that they’d get tired of winning once he was in office? If you are a Trump Admin lawyer, it surely doesn’t feel that way. Based on the #litigation tracker compiled by #JustSecurity, the admin…has lost in 36 of 56 cases decided so far in the federal district courts & not yet subject to appellate rulings. It has lost in 10 of 15 cases that have been decided at the next level of review, the federal circuit courts of appeals.

Via Ryan Goodman, @RyanGoodman #JustSecurity: Trump attorney Joe Tacopina has had an attorney-client relationship with Stormy Daniels.
Under ABA, NYS ethics rules, difficult to see how he can represent Trump; call Daniel’s claim of affair untrue; call her an extortionist (and Trump the victim).
In his own words in 2018👇#trump #indictment #stormyDaniels #JoeTacopina
