Janina Dill is a the Dame Louise Richardson Chair in Global Security at the Blavatnik School of Government of the University of Oxford. She is also a Fellow at Trinity College, Oxford and Co-Director of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law, and Armed Conflict (ELAC).
Professor Dill is considered a world expert in International Humanitarian Law. She is often consulted for opinion on legality, or lack thereof, in ongoing armed conflicts. She has spoken on a wide range of topics related to law and war[1], including the use of human shields by Hamas stating that "Even if Hamas uses civilians as human shields, those civilians are entitled to full protection under international law unless they directly participate in the fighting"[2].
Her research concerns the role of law and morality in international relations, specifically in war. In one strand of research, she develops legal and philosophical theories about how international law can be an instrument of morality in war, albeit an imperfect one. This work speaks to debates in just war theory and international law. Another strand of her research seeks to explain how moral and legal norms affect the reality of war. She contributes to debates about the capacity of international law to constrain military decision-making. She also studies how normative considerations can shape public opinion[3][4] on the use of force and the attitudes of conflict-affected populations, for instance, in Afghanistan, Ukraine and Iraq.
Her first book[5], concerned how international law influences the choice of targets of attack in US air warfare. Her second book[6], co-authored with Ziv Bohrer and Helen Duffy, proposed a moral division of labour between human rights and humanitarian law.
Professor Dill earned her PhD from Oxford University. After her PhD she was an assistant professor at the London School of Economics and then was the John Gilbert Winant chair in American Foreign Policy at Nuffield College, Oxford. In 2021, she won a Philip Leverhulme Prize. She was appointed at the Blavatnik School of Government in 2023.
