About the Centre

CIGJ aims to develop regulatory theory in the context of peacekeeping and peacebuilding. Our research projects focus both on empirical questions, such as what works and what fails
in peacekeeping and peacebuilding, and also on the role that international law can play in strengthening the development of democracy after conflict.
