I attended this lecture a little while ago and it turned out to be a lot more interested for me than I thought it would be. They have finally put it up online. It runs about 1h15m, but a lot of the end is questions (and a lot of them were not good questions). Frankly, even the commentary falls off from the force of the original presentation. If you can watch it through about 25:00, then I think you've gotten the best of it.
Boston College conference: The Politics of Human Rights -- Sarah Sewall on human rights and the use of force.
From the Conference program:
| Quote: | | Sarah Sewall teaches international affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, where she also directs the Program on National Security and Human Rights. She led the Obama Transitions National Security Agency Review process in 2008. During the Clinton Administration, Sewall served as the first Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Assistance. From 1983-1996, she served as Senior Foreign Policy Advisor to Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell on the Democratic Policy Committee and the Senate Arms Control Observer Group. Before joining Harvard, Sewall was at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences where she edited The United States and the International Criminal Court (2002). Her more recent publications include the introduction to the University of Chicago Edition of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Manual (2007) and, with John White, Parameters of Partnership: U.S. Civil-Military Relations in the 21st Century (2009). She is a member of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee and the Center for Naval Analyses Defense Advisory Committee. She graduated from Harvard College and Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. |
