Research activities
The past few years, my research was centred around two main topics: visual respresentations of international criminal law and the role of expertise in the laws of amred conflict. I have written a number of articles on documentaries in the field of international criminal justice and also a number of articles on the construction of manuals in humanitarian law. In addition, I have been working on the invocation of concepts such as ‘humanity’ and ‘mankind’ in international legal discourse.
Expertise
Visual representations of international law, conflict and security law, cosmopolitanism, the role of experts in legal disourse.
