Arms transfer under international law

The research seminar series encompasses an examination of the different legal dimensions and challenges of arms transfers within the framework of international law. These seminars offer insights into the legal aspects governing arms transfer and explore the responsibilities and accountability of states, individuals and corporations. The series includes sessions addressing the transfer of new technologies and dual-use technologies.
