Discovering ways to protect freedom and national security through informed and effective regulation.
UQ Law School research aims to inform governments on legislation that not only safeguards national interests but also upholds democratic principles and civil rights.
Through collaboration with stakeholders including technology experts, defence and national security officals, and civil rights advocates, our research informs robust legislation that is adaptable to emerging challenges posed by various factors, such as autonomous weapons, cyber threats, terrorism, and misinformation.
Our comprehensive approach prioritises individual freedoms and collective safety, contributing to fair and just societies.
