We will be working with the following resolution during our main session of UTNIF for the LD students:
Resolved: Targeted killing is a morally permissible foreign policy tool.
This resolution is taken from the NFL list that was released at Nationals in June. It is a potential topic for next year.
We also think this topic will be highly educational for camp instruction. It is very timely in terms of current events with the death of Osama bin Laden. It also raises several classic LD questions in terms of legitimate government actions, as well as introducing students to many important concepts in international relations that they will encounter throughout their debate careers.
Students are not expected to arrive at camp with cases completed. Part of the camp experience is learning to write cases for beginners or to improve casing skills for experienced students. However, being familiar with the topic is always helpful. We highly encourage students to begin reading on this resolution so that they can familiarize themselves with the topic.
Happy researching!
