Information for Authors
Aims and Scope
The Journal of Conflict and Security Law is a tri-annual, refereed journal aimed at academics, government officials, military lawyers, and lawyers working in the area, as well as people interested in the areas of arms control law, armed conflict law and collective security law. The journal covers the whole spectrum of international law relating to armed conflict from the pre-conflict stage when the issues include those of arms control, disarmament and conflict prevention, through to the outbreak of armed conflict and discussions of the legality of resort to force, to the coverage of the conduct of military operations and the protection of non-combatants by international humanitarian law. Treatment is also given to the stage of conflict resolution where the legal issues concern territory, compensation and disarmament.
