Dr Nikhil Narayan

School of Law

My work focuses on human rights and humanitarian law, transitional justice and international criminal justice. I am particularly interested in post-conflict peace building and justice in the Global South (South and Southeast Asia, and East Africa and the Horn), including guarantees of non-recurrence, constitutional and justice-sector institutional reform and prevention of mass atrocities. I am also interested in the application of new technologies in human rights and international criminal justice.
