Law and Conflict at Durham (LCD) is a cluster of researchers at Durham Law School interested in legal questions related to conflict, post and pre conflict situations and their impact upon global governance. LCD is an inclusive group, which encourages interdisciplinarity approaches to questions of governance and supports the research of its members, as well as operating as a framework for the organisation of events and projects. Members of LCD pursue a diverse range of interests and approaches, and contribute to the development of knowledge and policy at the highest level. LCD works closely with the Law School's other research Centres and Clusters, with which it shares several members.

LCD encourages strong applications to undertake research degrees, either PhD or Mjur, in these fields.  For all admissions queries, please contact law.pgadmissions@durham.ac.uk

LCD defines 'conflict' broadly, to include issues arising from:

• Law in precipitating or resolving conflict;
• The role of law as a source of conflict within global governance;
• International humanitarian law;
• Cultural property in periods of conflict;
• International human rights in conflict and transitional contexts;
• Transitional justice;
• Peace negotiations and the role of international organisations in relation to them;
• Refugees and other forced migrants.

For the 2012-13 academic year, LCD is convened by Dr. Gleider I Hernández and Dr. Aoife O'Donoghue 

Alice Panepinto, PhD candidate and Sohyun Shin, PhD candidate, serve as Deputy Conveners (Post-Graduate).
