Research, analysis and innovative policy thinking
Article 36 publishes research, policy analysis and innovative policy thinking to strengthen the protection of civilians and reduce harm from weapons. Our work is written primarily for governments, international organisations, civil society and other stakeholders engaged in international policy. Through rigorous, independent analysis, we have helped shape international debates on explosive weapons, autonomous weapons, nuclear weapons and civilian protection. Our publications place evidence of civilian harm at the centre of policy discussions and promote practical changes to international law, policy and practice.
