Nottingham International Law and Security Centre

Description

The Nottingham International Law and Security Centre (NILSC) was established in January 2013 in the School of Law. Its aim is to enhance the existing research capability in public international law, with a focus on international law and security.

NILSC wishes to raise and answer significant questions for international law which tackle key challenges facing society today. Areas of focus include the impacts of economic crises and the climate crisis, with a focus on the security of ordinary citizens in the face of natural or man-made disasters arising from climate and geological catastrophes. NILSC also considers the challenges facing States, including an expanding range of security issues arising from contested territorial spaces, military and maritime security, cyber-security, and security threats relating to energy, infrastructure and the delivery of essential services.

The centre includes the Disaster Law Unit and the International Humanitarian Law Unit.
