My research projects benefit from my work in the field as both a practitioner and theorist through intimate involvement via my global consultancy MH Group in live political cases from Libya to South Korea and close dealings with such international bodies as the United Nations Human Rights Council, the International Criminal Court and African Commission and Court of Human Rights.
