Article 36’s publications include research papers, political and policy analysis and innovative policy thinking. Our writings tend to be aimed towards the multilateral community – diplomats, international organisations, civil society and other stakeholders. Our new thinking on themes such as explosive weapons, nuclear weapons, autonomous weapons and the protection of civilians has served to frame key debates and political processes on these issues. Our writings tend to centre harm to people and communities as the foundation for our work, and to promote changes to international law, policy and practice in response to these harms.
