Research themes within Research in Public International Law (RIPIL)

RIPIL’s work covers a wide range of Public International Law sub-fields, including (although not limited to):

• Environmental law and sustainability
• International human rights law 
• The law on the use of force
• International humanitarian law
• International criminal law
• Migration and refugee law
• International economic law

RIPIL also has UWE Bristol-based members working in related disciplines, such as politics, international relations, criminology and business, and undertakes cross-cutting activities with the Global Security and Human Rights research theme within the College of Health, Science and Society’s Social Science Research Group (SSRG).

The group additionally has a large number of external members, including many non-academic members working globally in areas such as legal practice, politics, and defence.
