What is the Future of Guantanamo Bay?

International & National Security Law Practice Group Teleforum

On his second day in office, President Obama declared that closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility would be among the top priorities of his Administration. Over seven years later, as we near the end of the President's second term, both that goal and the prison remain. The panelists analyzed the chances that President Obama will close Guantanamo Bay and the issues with which a future administration must wrestle, if he does not.

Featuring:

  • Steven A. Engel, Partner, Dechert LLP
  • Karen Greenberg, Director of the Center on National Security, Fordham Law School
