This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9/11 AUMF has served the United States well. It has provided broad authority for the United States to pursue and dismantle al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and a foundation to authorize U.S. operations against al-Qaeda elsewhere, and against groups and individuals which have operationally associated themselves with al-Qaeda, like Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula-an expansion that the Congress and U.S. courts have endorsed. With the winding down of significant U.S. military activities in Afghanistan by the end of this year, it is appropriate to begin reassessing the 9/11 AUMF, in light of new circumstances and new threats that have evolved over time. This hearing will consider existing authorities under the current authorization for the use of military force, as well as what additional statutory authorities may be required to confront ongoing threats associated with al-Qaeda and other terrorist entities that threaten the United States, as well as the President's inherent authorities.

Book Synopsis The Law of Armed Conflict, the Use of Military Force, and the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force by : Committee on Armed Services United States Senate
Download or read book The Law of Armed Conflict, the Use of Military Force, and the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force written by Committee on Armed Services United States Senate and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 18, 2001, Congress enacted a joint resolution authorizing the President to, "Use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons." This authority is referred to as the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). Today's hearing will examine the legal basis for the use of military force in accordance with the law of armed conflict, including the use of drones. We have asked our witnesses to help us consider a number of questions including: What is the continuing vitality of the 2001 AUMF a dozen years after its enactment? How will we know when the current conflict is over? Does the AUMF extend to organizations which played no active role in the September 11 attacks and may not have even existed in 2001? Should the AUMF be extended or modified by legislation to cover groups not associated with al Qaeda? What is the legal basis for military action in countries like Yemen and Somalia which are far away from Afghanistan where the September 1 attacks were planned? These and related matters raise challenging questions and there is a wide range of views on the answers.
Download or read book Power Wars written by Charlie Savage and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 1067 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie Savage's penetrating investigation of the Obama presidency and the national security state. Barack Obama campaigned on changing George W. Bush's "global war on terror" but ended up entrenching extraordinary executive powers, from warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention to military commissions and targeted killings. Then Obama found himself bequeathing those authorities to Donald Trump. How did the United States get here? In Power Wars, Charlie Savage reveals high-level national security legal and policy deliberations in a way no one has done before. He tells inside stories of how Obama came to order the drone killing of an American citizen, preside over an unprecendented crackdown on leaks, and keep a then-secret program that logged every American's phone calls. Encompassing the first comprehensive history of NSA surveillance over the past forty years as well as new information about the Osama bin Laden raid, Power Wars equips readers to understand the legacy of Bush's and Obama's post-9/11 presidencies in the Trump era.

Book Synopsis Congress and the War Powers by : Scott D. Adamson
Download or read book Congress and the War Powers written by Scott D. Adamson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Division of the War Powers, as delineated in the United States Constitution between the executive and legislative branches of the Federal government, has been the subject of critical debate since our nation's formal inception nearly 250 years ago. Often focused on the power of one political body over the other to commit or authorize the use of military force, public attention and discussion on the issue routinely follows perceived overreach on the part of the executive. Unfortunately, in most such cases, both the Senate and House of Representatives lack the bipartisan consensus and will needed to challenge the President. This phenomenon results despite Article I, Section 8, explicitly granting Congress the power "to raise and support Armies", "to provide and maintain a Navy", and "to declare War." Article II, Section 2, provides further clarity by defining the role of the President as "Commander in Chief" of the military "when called into the actual service of the United States." These separation-of-powers are generally understood to mean the legislature alone can authorize the use of military force, and the executive, once authorized, is charged with carrying out its employment specific to the limits set by Congress. While this appears to be rather straightforward, it is broadly acknowledged the office of the President has bypassed obtaining, or exceeded, war-making authority to deploy military forces to hostilities on numerous occasions. Such instances include Truman's commitment of troops to South Korea, Clinton's use of military force in Kosovo, Bush's entanglements beyond the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama's intervention in Libya, and Trump's employment of precision strikes on Iranian targets. Each of these occurrences deserves intense scrutiny and deliberation as the erosion of Congress's ability to check the power of the President is of serious concern. Yet, there is another case that also warrants consideration which is the focus of this research endeavor: Africa. This paper will review America's military involvement, relative to the War Powers, in East and West Africa since 9/11 by: 1) examining the strategic environment, 2) identifying past and ongoing military activities, 3) analyzing arguments utilized by executive administrations for those activities, and 4) assessing Congress's response (or lack thereof) when confronted with an abuse of power by the President. Ultimately, this review will detail that while the underlying justification for American military presence is evident, the executive does not maintain adequate authorization for all activities currently assigned to the armed forces. As a result, Congress must take prudent steps to restore balance to the War Powers now so that the legislative body can serve as a stalwart check to the President in the future."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Counter-Terrorism and the Use of Force in International Law by :
Download or read book Counter-Terrorism and the Use of Force in International Law written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, Michael Schmitt explores the legality of the attacks against Al Qaeda and the Taliban under the "jus ad bellum," that component of international law that governs when a State may resort to force as an instrument of national policy. Although States have conducted military counterterrorist operations in the past, the scale and scope of Operation Enduring Freedom may signal a sea change in strategies to defend against terrorism. This paper explores the normative limit on counterterrorist operations. Specifically, under what circumstances can a victim State react forcibly to an act of terrorism? Against whom? When? With what degree of severity? And for how long? The author contends that the attacks against Al Qaeda were legitimate exercises of the rights of individual and collective defense. They were necessary and proportional, and once the Taliban refused to comply with U.S. and United Nations demands to turn over the terrorists located in Afghanistan, it was legally appropriate for coalition forces to enter the country for the purpose of ending the ongoing Al Qaeda terrorist campaign. However, the attacks on the Taliban were less well grounded in traditional understandings of international law. Although the Taliban were clearly in violation of their legal obligation not to allow their territory to be used as a terrorist sanctuary, the author suggests that the degree and nature of the relationship between the Taliban and Al Qaeda may not have been such that the September 11 attacks could be attributed to the Taliban, thereby disallowing strikes against them in self-defense under traditional understandings of international law. Were the attacks, therefore, illegal? Not necessarily. Over the past half-century the international community's understanding of the international law governing the use of force by States has been continuously evolving. The author presents criteria likely to drive future assessments of the legality of counterterrorist operatio7.
Book Synopsis The War Powers Resolution by : Richard F. Grimmett
Download or read book The War Powers Resolution written by Richard F. Grimmett and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses and assesses the War Powers Resolution and its application since enactment in 1973, providing detailed background on various cases in which it was used, as well as cases in which issues of its applicability were raised. It will be revised biannually. In the post-Cold War world, Presidents have continued to commit U.S. Armed Forces into potential hostilities, sometimes without a specific authorization from Congress. Thus the War Powers Resolution and its purposes continue to be a potential subject of controversy. On June 7, 1995, the House defeated, by a vote of 217-201, an amendment to repeal the central features of the War Powers Resolution that have been deemed unconstitutional by every President since the law's enactment in 1973. In 1999, after the President committed U.S. military forces to action in Yugoslavia without congressional authorization, Representative Tom Campbell used expedited procedures under the Resolution to force a debate and votes on U.S. military action in Yugoslavia, and later sought, unsuccessfully, through a federal court suit to enforce presidential compliance with the terms of the War Powers Resolution. The War Powers Resolution P.L. 93-148 was passed over the veto of President Nixon on November 7, 1973, to provide procedures for Congress and the President to participate in decisions to send U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities. Section 4(a)(1) requires the President to report to Congress any introduction of U.S. forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities. When such a report is submitted, or is required to be submitted, section 5(b) requires that the use of forces must be terminated within 60 to 90 days unless Congress authorizes such use or extends the time period. Section 3 requires that the “President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing” U.S. Armed Forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities. From 1975 through mid-September 2012, Presidents have submitted 136 reports as the result of the War Powers Resolution, but only one, the 1975 Mayaguez seizure, cited section 4(a)(1), which triggers the time limit, and in this case the military action was completed and U.S. armed forces had disengaged from the area of conflict when the report was made. The reports submitted by the President since enactment of the War Powers Resolution cover a range of military activities, from embassy evacuations to full-scale combat military operations, such as the Persian Gulf conflict, and the 2003 war with Iraq, the intervention in Kosovo, and the anti-terrorism actions in Afghanistan. In some instances, U.S. Armed Forces have been used in hostile situations without formal reports to Congress under the War Powers Resolution. On one occasion, Congress exercised its authority to determine that the requirements of section 4(a)(1) became operative on August 29, 1983, through passage of the Multinational Force in Lebanon Resolution (P.L. 98-119). In 1991 and 2002, Congress authorized, by law, the use of military force against Iraq. In several instances neither the President, Congress, nor the courts have been willing to trigger the War Powers Resolution mechanism.
