Bochum, Germany

https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ifhv/1-institute/1-index.html

The Institute for International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict (Institut für Friedenssicherungsrecht und Humanitäres Völkerrecht, IFHV) was established in 1988 by decision of the University Senate as a central research unit of the Ruhr-University Bochum. Research within the IFHV is based on a research programme concerning the problematic and dynamics of the humanitarian complex. Based upon the tradition of grounded research in the field of international humanitarian law, the current IFHV research programme has extended its research into the field of humanitarian studies. The inclusion of researchers from the faculties of social sciences, geo sciences and medicine provides the IFHV with a profound multidisciplinary character. The IFHV aspires a mix of applied and fundamental research projects in its research programme in order to contribute to both societal as well as scientific discourses.

Publications
The Institute edits a number of publications and working papers including the journal “Humanitäres Völkerrecht – Informationsschriften” (HuV-I), which is the leading German journal for research on international humanitarian law, human rights and peace-keeping law https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/ifhv/6-publications/6-index.html

Hamburg, Germany

https://www.ifsh.de/index.php/profile.html

The Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy (Institut für Friedensforschung und Sicherheitspolitik, IFSH) is an independent research institution at the University of Hamburg. The two hypothesis underlying its work are ensuring peace and providing security. The work of the Institute is underpinned by the postulate of a security policy that is both effective and geared to the use of peaceful means.The IFSH's research profile demonstrates an awareness of political realities, a focus on problem solving, and an international mix of staff and project partners. The IFSH is divided into three specialised research units: the Centre for European Peace and Security Studies (ZEUS), the Centre for OSCE Research (CORE) and the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Disarmament, Arms Control, and Risk Technologies (IFARª). The IFSH's three research units combine to develop cooperative strategies for conflict resolution and prevention that pay special attention to the courses of action available to the German government. Additionally, the IFSH comprises a military component/military fellow, which is quite unique for civilian scientific institutions. Beyond research, the Institute performs also teaching and consulting activities.

Publications
The Institute publishes the series of books entitled "Demokratie, Sicherheit, Frieden" (Democracy, Security, Peace), the quarterly journal "S+F. Sicherheit und Frieden. Peace and Security", and two further series of books. It is also the co-publisher of two yearbooks: the OSCE Yearbook and the Friedensgutachten (Peace Report): https://www.ifsh.de/index.php/introduction.html
