Recent Committee Activity
Targeted Killings
The Task Force on National Security and the Rule of Law drafted a letter, signed by President Sam Seymour and sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, requesting information and clarification on the position of the United States Government regarding the law governing targeted killings. Specifically, the letter requested that any memoranda of law delivered by the Office of Legal Counsel that relates to this issue and the death of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, be released to the public, with appropriate redactions. The letter notes that the authority of the government to kill individuals, especially U.S. citizens, away from an active theater of traditional warfare and without a trial or other public evidence of due process, raises Constitutional and statutory concerns, as well as global implications that may undermine humanity’s general assumptions about the security of life under the law, even in wartime.
Environmental Impact of the Keystone XL Pipeline
In a statement to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Committee on International Environmental Law expressed concerns that the process used to evaluate the Keystone XL pipeline respect and abide by applicable international treaties and relevant U.S. law and rules, and urged the State Department to fully evaluate the pipeline’s environmental impacts, including the effect of climate change and the impact on wildlife.
