"We are witnessing a key moment in time when devastating global conflict and instability are expanding. WAFAR funding was the stimulus that compelled an elite, international team to craft novel solutions to the apparently intractable challenges facing peace in our century. WAFAR catalysed a global conversation among academics, artists, policy-makers and seasoned diplomats, to tackle this very human challenge."

How does the international legal system respond to war and conflict?
The international community has seen threats to interstate peace on a scale unthinkable for decades. Exploring Possibilities for Peace brought an interdisciplinary lens to the rise of interstate war in the twenty-first century, examining why international law had fallen short of securing peace and how it could adapt to meet today's threats.
Challenge
The world now sees threats to peace between countries on a scale not observed since WWII. Why has international law failed to secure the peace it promised? How can international law and communities secure modern peace?
Impacts
- Policies created to guide government response to conflict
- Academic-Ambassadorial exchange spearheaded
- Ground-breaking findings published about the role of technology, human rights and climate change, in peace and war
