ELAC
The Oxford Institute For Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict
The Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict is an interdisciplinary research institute based at the Blavatnik School of Government.
It looks at different aspects of armed conflict from the perspective of law, international relations and philosophy. Our aim is to strengthen law, norms and institutions to restrain, regulate and prevent armed conflict.
Oxford Programme on International Peace and Security (IPS)
The Oxford Programme for International Peace and Security is a research programme established as part of ELAC’s mission to look beyond the threshold of armed conflict and contribute to our collective understanding of other forms of organised violence that threaten our international peace and stability.
