Allen S. Weiner

Stanford Law School

Allen S. Weiner is Senior Lecturer in Law at Stanford Law School, where he serves as Director of the Program in International and Comparative Law. He is also Director of the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation and the Stanford Humanitarian Program. His research and teaching focus on the fields of international security, international conflict resolution, and humanitarian law.

In the realm of international security, his work spans such issues as international law and the response to contemporary security threats, the relationship between international and domestic law in the context of armed conflict, the law of war, just war theory, and international criminal law (including transitional justice).

In the realm of international conflict resolution, his highly multidisciplinary work analyzes the barriers to resolving intractable political conflicts.

In the humanitarian realm, Senior Lecturer Weiner pursues projects in collaboration with practitioners to develop solutions to humanitarian challenges, including those that intersect with technology.

Weiner’s scholarship is deeply informed by experience; he practiced international law in the U.S. Department of State, in the Office of the Legal Adviser in Washington, DC, and the Office of the Legal Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in The Hague, for more than a decade before joining the Stanford faculty, advising government policymakers, participating in international negotiations, and representing the United States in litigation before international courts and tribunals.
