Bradford Non-Lethal Weapons Research Project (BNLWRP) is part of the Department of Peace Studies at Bradford University. Its primary objectives include to review and describe non-lethal weapons (NLWs) which are being developed and deployed; identify and track defense 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; and highlight the ethical and societal issues that surround the research, development, deployment and use of such weapons.
