Military Law and Ethics; National Security Law

Research on military and security law, with a particular focus on the legal and ethical framework governing the use of military force.

Researchers in this area make a real difference by identifying and interrogating key law and policy trends in national security, military legal practice, regulation of emerging military technologies, and the experiences of military personnel and veterans. This body of work informs law and policy reform at both an international and domestic level and has a demonstrable practical impact.

Research in this area is undertaken by the Research Unit on Military Law and Ethics (RUMLAE).
