Congratulations to Fanaaka Chidakwa, who successfully defended his S.J.D. candidacy. Fanaaka’s research focuses on how advances in AI are reshaping international humanitarian law. His dissertation interrogates concepts such as perfidy. I look forward to seeing how Fanaaka continues to develop this work.
