Law and morality in war

Law and morality in war

Three bodies of international law are relevant to how wars must be waged: a general prohibition on the use of force, which is enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations; the laws of war, which govern how wars must be waged; and international criminal law for holding individuals to account if they violate the laws of war.
I am the Dame Louise Richardson Chair in Global Security at the Blavatnik School of Government of the University of Oxford. I am also a Fellow at Trinity College and Co-Director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict (ELAC). My research concerns the role of law and morality in international relations, specifically in war. I focus on three strands of work. I am a 2021 Philip Leverhulme Prize Winner.
