10 March Zoom Event, 7pm EST — “Accountability for American War Crimes, Up Close and Personal: A Conversation”

2/10/2022

What are the lessons to be learned from the highly publicized – and highly politicized – 2019 general court-martial of former Navy SEAL Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher? Will service members be deterred in the future from reporting war crimes, given the spectacular implosion of that attempt at accountability for alleged battlefield misconduct? Does this case, from investigation to court-marital plus post-trial processing—indicate a military justice system that is irreparably flawed, and hence calls out for replacement by the federal civilian criminal justice system? Can the rule of law be shielded from a commander in chief bent on meddling with the pursuit of justice, when that system itself is seemingly never immune from command influence because of its very architecture within the military?

To discuss these questions and more, join us for a special event – an opening act for NIMJ’s April 8 conference on accountability for battlefield misconduct – on Thursday, March 10. This webinar, featuring two participants in the 2019 court-martial of Eddie Gallagher, will discuss the above questions and more. Join Chris Czaplack, the original lead prosecutor in the case, and Josh Vriens, one of the decorated military witnesses, as they have a conversation with NIMJ about the importance of the laws and customs of war, and the pursuit of justice in the hardest of circumstances.

Zoom registration link forthcoming.
