Dr Aurel Sari

I am a Lecturer in Law at the University of Exeter, specializing in international law and military operations. My work focuses mainly on the legal status of foreign armed forces under international law and other questions of military and operational law. I have published widely in leading academic journals on status of forces agreements, peace support operations and the legal aspects of European security and defence policy. I am currently preparing a monograph on the jurisdictional privileges and immunities of foreign armed forces to be published by Cambridge University Press.

Before taking up an appointment at Exeter Law School in 2008, I studied law and politics at the University of Durham (BA, First Class), the London School of Economics (LLM, Distinction) and University College London (PhD).

I am a member of several academic associations and serve on the ILA Committee on Nuclear Weapons, Non-proliferation & Contemporary International Law, the ILA Study Group on The Conduct of Hostilities under International Humanitarian Law and the editorial board of The Military Law and the Law of War Review. I was a Visiting Fellow at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law in Cambridge in 2009 and have taught law at universities in the UK and abroad. Aurel Sari
