Co-Directors: Dapo Akande and Janina Dill

The Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict (ELAC) is an interdisciplinary research programme hosted by the Blavatnik School of Government that aims to strengthen law, norms and institutions to restrain, regulate and prevent armed conflict. ELAC seeks to develop a sophisticated framework of rules and stronger forms of international authority relating to armed conflict. Research activity addresses all aspects of armed conflict, including the recourse to war, the conduct of war, and post-conflict governance, transition and reconstruction.
