The Stockton Center for International Law recently held its 6th Annual Alexander C. Cushing International Law Conference, “Multi-Domain Operations in the Indo-Pacific and International Law," May 14-16, 2024. Multi-Domain Operations are the combined arms employment of joint capabilities to create and exploit advantages, achieve objectives, and defeat enemy forces.
Multi-Domain Operations make use of all available combat power from each Service to accomplish missions at least cost. This expansive approach to all-domain combat operations necessitates a similarly broadened and interdisciplinary approach to the international law governing these operations. The 6th Annual Cushing Conference addressed a broad range of issues, including the international laws applicable to naval and joint operations in the Indo-Pacific; the synchronization of special operations, cyber operations, and space operations; China and the law of armed conflict; and foreign perspectives on Multi-Domain Operations (FVEY and East Asian allies).
The Stockton Center’s Cushing Conference brought together international organizations, the global academic community, military and government attorneys, and experts in military operations from the United States, Asia, and Europe. Selected research presented at the event will be published in International Law Studies, the oldest journal of international law in the United States.
