Media & Policy

The Oxford Institute of Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict is keen to use its research findings to best effect by playing a role in the shaping of legal and policy instruments for the management and regulation of armed conflict.

Policy Support

One of ELAC’s key goals is to play a significant role in shaping policy instruments for the management and regulation of armed conflict. Our research will regularly be disseminated to policymakers via policy briefs and a Consensus Statement of Principles. We are also interested in working with other organizations and institutions to increase our policy outreach through research, joint publications, workshops and seminars. If you are interested in working with us, please contact us.
