Descripción: University of Bochum.
«The objective of the Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict is to intensify academic research and instruction in the fields of armed conflict and ensuring peace. In particular, it sets out to fill the gaps which have appeared in this area of research in recent decades and to make contributions with respect to fundamental and current issues. Of special significance are the questions surrounding a future European peace order and the realisation of regional and world-wide processes of disarmament and arms control, as well as all of the humanitarian issues arising from armed conflicts and situations threatening peace. The Institute's twofold and comprehensive objective of dealing with issues surrounding both peace and armed conflict – issues which were traditionally seen as two completely separate levels of research and political activity – takes into account the growing interconnection of these areas of international relations which has appeared in recent years in academic discussions and in the practice of international law.»
