(One in a series on Experts at Law)
This third installment in the Experts at Law series focuses on international human rights law, including the domestic implementation of international law, international environmental law, international migration, and women's rights. We've posted previously on experts in war and conflict, including international criminal law, international humanitarian law, national security law, terrorism, and transitional justice, and will post again next week on additional topics including private international law.
Organized by field of expertise, this series of posts aims to provide easily accessible information to conference organizers, media, and others who seek expert opinions on a variety of subjects while ensuring gender balance. The list below provides institutional affiliations for as well as links to the bios and publications of and blog posts by or about our Experts at Law, who are comprised of IntLawGrrls bloggers, guests, and alumnae and presented in alphabetical order. Some offer specific areas of expertise within the broader topic presented.
