Drawing on the speaker’s experience as a protection of civilians advocate in Washington, DC, this talk traces that erosion across three fronts — arms, conduct of hostilities, and accountability — with a focus on US foreign policy and the human costs of ongoing wars in the Middle East. \n\nPresenter: John Ramming Chappell is a Senior Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for International Policy whose research and writing focuses on international law, armed conflict, and US foreign policy. He has published commentary and analysis in leading policy publications including Just Security, Lawfare, The Hill, Arms Control Today, and Opinio Juris, as well as a number of academic journals. His analysis has also featured in media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Politico, and CNN, among others.\nJohn worked for five years at Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC), where he led advocacy campaigns on atrocity prevention in Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, maritime Latin America, Ukraine, and elsewhere. He has also worked at several other advocacy and research organizations.\nJohn holds a J.D. and M.S.F.S. from Georgetown University and is a member of the District of Columbia Bar. He serves on the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum. John is recognized as an expert with the Forum on the Arms Trade and teaches international criminal law as a legal trainer for the Model International Criminal Court Program of the Kreisau Initiative.\n \n \n \nThursday, September 17, 2026 – 6:00 PM\nTanoan\nCountry Club, 10801 Academy Blvd. NE\n\nvar gform;gform||(document.addEventListener("gform_main_scripts_loaded",function(){gform.scriptsLoaded=!0}),document.addEventListener("gform/theme/scripts_loaded",function(){gform.themeScriptsLoaded=!0}),window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(){gform.domLoaded=!0}),gform={domLoaded:!1,scriptsLoaded:!1,themeScriptsLoaded:!1,isFormEditor:()=>"function"==typeof InitializeEditor,callIfLoaded:function(o){return!(!gform.domLoaded||!gform.scriptsLoaded||!gform.themeScriptsLoaded&&!gform.isFormEditor()||(gform.isFormEditor()&&console.warn("The use of gform.initializeOnLoaded() is deprecated in the form editor context and will be removed in Gravity Forms 3.1."),o(),0))},initializeOnLoaded:function(o){gform.callIfLoaded(o)||(document.addEventListener("gform_main_scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.scriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),document.addEventListener("gform/theme/scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.themeScriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",()=>{gform.domLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}))},hooks:{action:{},filter:{}},addAction:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("action",o,r,e,t)},addFilter:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("filter",o,r,e,t)},doAction:function(o){gform.doHook("action",o,arguments)},applyFilters:function(o){return gform.doHook("filter",o,arguments)},removeAction:function(o,r){gform.removeHook("action",o,r)},removeFilter:function(o,r,e){gform.removeHook("filter",o,r,e)},addHook:function(o,r,e,t,n){null==gform.hooks[o][r]&&(gform.hooks[o][r]=[]);var d=gform.hooks[o][r];null==n&&(n=r+"_"+d.length),gform.hooks[o][r].push({tag:n,callable:e,priority:t=null==t?10:t})},doHook:function(r,o,e){var t;if(e=Array.prototype.slice.call(e,1),null!=gform.hooks[r][o]&&((o=gform.hooks[r][o]).sort(function(o,r){return o.priority-r.priority}),o.forEach(function(o){"function"!=typeof(t=o.callable)&&(t=window[t]),"action"==r?t.apply(null,e):e[0]=t.apply(null,e)})),"filter"==r)return e[0]},removeHook:function(o,r,t,n){var e;null!=gform.hooks[o][r]&&(e=(e=gform.hooks[o][r]).filter(function(o,r,e){return!!(null!=n&&n!=o.tag||null!=t&&t!=o.priority)}),gform.hooks[o][r]=e)}});\n\n\n \n \n \n "*" indicates required fields\n \n EmailThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone*Who Will Be Attending?Check all that apply\n \n Members\n \n \n Students\n \n \n Guests/Non-Members\n How Many Members Are Attending?*How Many Students Are Attending?*School(s) Students Currently Attend?*How Many Guests Non-Members Are Attending?*Name(s) of Attendees, including non-members, for name badges:*The menu is chef’s choice (usually beef or chicken) but you may request a fish entree or a vegetarian entree; and/or a fresh fruit plate.
