Allen S. Weiner is an international legal scholar specializing in diverse fields of international and national security law, including the law of war, international conflict resolution, and international criminal law. His scholarly work emphasizes international law's response to contemporary security challenges, such as international terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as reactions to widespread humanitarian atrocities. Weiner analyzes the exercise of states' 'war powers' within the frameworks of international and domestic law, particularly in the context of asymmetric conflicts involving both state and non-state actors. In international conflict resolution, his multidisciplinary work investigates the obstacles to resolving violent political disputes, with a particular emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His scholarship is informed by over a decade of practical experience in international law at the U.S. Department of State, where he advised policymakers, negotiated international agreements, and represented U.S. interests in cases before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and other international legal bodies. Weiner has been a faculty member at Stanford Law School since 2003 and holds leadership positions as the Director of the Stanford Program in International Comparative Law and the Stanford Center for International Conflict Negotiation.
