Research Overview
My research in international law and international adjudication combines empirical findings with theoretical and doctrinal legal investigations in a creative and innovative manner while using inspiration, methods and insights from social, behavioural and psychological sciences to cross traditional barriers. My research foci explore the followings:
• Judicial function as understood and exercised by international judges
• Judicial behaviour and decision-making at international courts
• Compound and intersecting forms of discrimination in the context of mass atrocities
• The protection of minorities in the international courts’ jurisprudence
• Sociology of international law
• Psychology of international law
• Global migration law
• Transitional justice
• Death penalty
