Inside Back Cover JULY 2007 • THE ARMY LAWYER • DA PAM 27-50-410 i APRIL 2007 • THE ARMY LAWYER • DA PAM 27-50-407 i Foreword On behalf of The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School, United States Army and our friends at the Judge Advocate General’s School, United States Air Force and the Naval Justice School, we are pleased to present this special joint service edition of The Army Lawyer. It is fitting that this issue focuses on international and operational law topics, as Judge Advocates from all services serve with distinction in operational theaters around the world. The Global War on Terror has continued to highlight the fact that on today’s battlefield, no service fights alone. The United States military is, and must be, a joint team bringing our strengths together to defend our great Nation. The wide range of topics, experiences, and viewpoints expressed in this issue exemplifies the extraordinary value of inter-service coordination. We extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our colleagues on the staffs of our sister service legal publications, the Air Force Law Review, and the Naval Law Review. -The Editors ii JULY 2007 • THE ARMY LAWYER • DA PAM 27-50-410 Time to Stand Up and Be Counted: The Need for the United Nations to Control International Terrorism Major Karin G. Tackaberry∗ Terrorism is a global menace. It calls for a united, global response. To defeat it, all nations must take counsel together, and act in unison. That is why we have the United Nations.1 I. Introduction Since September 11, the United States and many other nations have been engaged in the Global War on Terrorism.2 The U.S. military has approximately 200,000 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.3 Each service’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps supports the Global War on Terrorism by providing “professional legal support at all echelons of command throughout the range of military operations”4 and within other government agencies such as the Department of State.5 In the Army, this legal support includes advice and services in international law, one of the core legal disciplines.6 Although international law advice generally focuses on conduct in a full spectrum of missions and ensuring adherence to international treaty law and customary international law,7 judge advocates may gain a greater understanding of daily activities in deployed areas by understanding the historical evolution of justifying war and the existing anti-terrorism treaties.8 Since the beginning of civilization, great philosophers and scholars have struggled with the morality of war. In particular, these philosophers formulated guidelines

The album contains nearly 200 original photographs (numbered sequentially at the top), most of which were autographed by their subjects.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
