Professor Carsten Stahn

School of Law

My work focuses on the intersection between international law and international justice. I am particularly interested in the transformation of global legal concepts, the role of international organisations and international criminal courts and tribunals, and the relationship between international criminal justice, peace and transitional justice. I am also pursuing a research line on law and colonialism, in particular the law and ethics regarding return of cultural colonial objects and cultural heritage.
