Decisions and Dilemmas – Episode #2: Afghanistan (Part 1 of 4)

On October 17th, 2011 The Centre for Ethics hosted a panel discussion titled “On The Very Idea of a Good War: Afghanistan 10 Years In”. One of the panelists was Amir Attaran, Professor in the Faculties of Law and Medicine at the University of Ottawa, and holder of the Canada Research Chair in Law, Population Health and Global Development Policy.

Today’s episode is a recording of Professor Attaran’s talk, titled: “‘Sir, Are War Crimes Part of the Mission?’ or the NATO Coalition’s Bumbling Approach to Torture”.
