Legal Aspects of Combating Terrorism (LCT) (MASL P176028)

This four-week course for military commanders, legal advisors and their civilian counterparts explores effective means for combating terrorism within the rule of law, with an emphasis on the importance of inter-agency cooperation. LCT is designed specifically for military officers and civilian officials who are currently, or who plan to be, involved in combating terrorism through law enforcement or military means. The course is designed to deepen understanding of the relevant law and the discussion of effective methods of combating terrorism thus making participants highly effective advisors to policy-makers, law enforcement, or military counter-terrorism practitioners. LCT covers the international law that applies to combating terrorism in each of its three contexts: internal disturbances 
(domestic crime); internal armed conflict (a common tactic of insurgents); and international armed conflict (such as against Al Qa'ida). Site visits and briefings are planned with the U.S. Coast Guard (maritime security), United Nations Combating Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (anti-terrorism, consequence management), and an Emergency Management Operations Center (inter-agency coordination in crisis response).  LCT features visits to the United Nations and will take part in cultural familiarization activities under the DIILS Field Studies Program (FSP) in Newport, Boston and New York City.
