PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW
Public International Law establishes fundamental rights and obligations within the international legal order, including the protection of individuals through international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international criminal law.
We provide consulting, research and advice on matters concerning the protection of internationally recognised human rights and the application of international legal standards to individuals, States and other relevant actors. This includes questions arising under international and regional human rights instruments, customary international law and the jurisprudence of international courts, tribunals and human rights bodies.
Our practice also encompasses related questions of international humanitarian law and international criminal law, particularly where these fields intersect with the protection of fundamental rights, accountability for serious violations of international law and access to justice and remedies.
We approach these matters with careful attention to the applicable international legal framework, relevant jurisprudence and the particular institutional and factual context in which the issue arises.
