CGHR Practitioner Series: Meet Academic and United Nations Special Mandate Holder on Arbitrary Detention Matthew Gillett.

The CGHR Practitioner Series allows students to hear from and ask questions of seasoned practitioners working in international politics, journalism, development and humanitarianism.

We are inviting you to meet Dr. Matthew Gillett, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Essex and a United Nations Special Mandate Holder (Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention). Previously, he worked for around 15 years prosecuting international crimes cases in the Hague. He writes on Ecocide, Human Rights, Speech Crimes, and International Criminal Law. In 2022, he published his monograph “Prosecuting Environmental Harm before the International Criminal Court” (CUP).

The talk is free and everyone is welcome, but for organisational reasons please register your attendance here.
