Abstract:

On 4 February 2011, at the campus of Georgetown University, the Washington Program on Nonproliferation Policy and Law sponsored a Panel Of Experts event to examine the issue of the threat of force against WMD proliferation, as seen through the prism of international law. This report summarizes presentations, interactions, and the thinking of panelists and attendees as they were delivered. Therefore, the text does not necessarily reflect the views of the Washington Program. The report notes key themes or ideas that emerged from the event, which is framed by a brief synopsis that familiarizes the reader with the issue.
