Preface

The purpose of the Strategic Legal Paper Series is to promote consideration and discussion among CF legal officers on selected topics of strategic legal importance.

The complex security environment of the 21^st Century, including the threat of transnational terrorism, presents unique and challenging legal issues for military commanders and their legal advisors. Therefore, topics addressed in this series should also be of professional interest to military commanders and their staffs.

The opinions expressed or implied in these papers are those of the authors. The Strategic Legal Analysis Papers do not therefore necessarily represent the views of the Office of the Judge Advocate General, the Canadian Forces, the Department of National Defence or the Government of Canada and should not be taken to do so.
