Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law

Marine Corps University Research Project

In 2017, the Center for Human Rights & Humanitarian Law collaborated with AU's School of International Service to launch a partnership with the Marine Corps University to provide research support for emerging international law topics.  The project, supported through a grant from the US Department of Defense, assessed how states use international law to challenge more power states, such as the U.S. and China, in international courts.  Additionally, student research assistants analyzed cases by international tribunals and conducted related research.
