The Bradford Non-Lethal Weapons Research Project (BNLWRP) was established in 1995 at the Centre for Conflict Resolution, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford, United Kingdom.
The project’s key objectives are to:
Review and describe non-lethal weapons (NLWs), which are being developed and deployed.
Identify and track defence and related research institutes involved in the development and manufacture of NLWs.
Follow doctrine and policy debates related to the use of NLWs.
Monitor the operational use of NLWs
Examine the impact of NLWs on international laws, arms treaties and conventions.
Highlight the ethical and societal issues that surround the research, development, deployment and use of such weapons.
