Harry Lambert published in New Law Journal – ‘Neurotechnology & the law: military law’

Outer Temple Chambers’ barrister, Harry Lambert, has been published in the New Law Journal. His article ‘Neurotechnology & the law: military law’, co-authored with Aidan Lloyd, ‘explores profound gaps in the laws governing war, responsibility & human agency’.

The New Law Journal provides key legal developments in a digestible format, both written for and read by legal professionals across the United Kingdom. With a history dating back to 1822, it is one of the most respected weekly legal magazines; Harry is a frequent contributor.

Two key points covered in his article include:

• Military neurotechnology challenges established principles of international humanitarian law, raising difficult questions about combatant status, command responsibility and criminal liability.
• Many legal and ethical implications arise from technologies that blur the boundaries between human cognition and warfare, from enhances soldiers to memory modulation and accountability for war crimes.
