\"\"Caroline Fournet is Professor of Law at Exeter Law School. She started her academic career as lecturer, and then senior lecturer, at Exeter Law School (2004-2011) before being appointed Rosalind Franklin Fellow and then Professor in Comparative Criminal Law and International Justice at the Department of Criminal Law and Criminology at the University of Groningen (Netherlands).\u00a0In 2016, she was Visiting Professional in Chambers at the International Criminal Court. She holds a Ma\u00eetrise de droit from Universit\u00e9 Jean Moulin – Lyon III (France, 1998); a Masters degree (LLM) from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (Lund, Sweden, 1998), a D.E.A. de Droit Compar\u00e9 des Droits de l\u2019Homme from the Institut des Hautes Etudes Europ\u00e9ennes (Strasbourg, France, 1999) and a PhD in Public International Law from the Faculty of Law, University of Leicester (2003).<\/p>\n

Research Interests<\/b><\/h4>\n

My expertise is in international criminal law and procedure. I am the Editor-in-Chief of the\u00a0International Criminal Law Review<\/a>\u00a0(Brill) and of the book series\u00a0Studies in International Criminal Law<\/a>\u00a0(Brill). My research builds upon both my dual expertise in international criminal law and human rights law and my inter-disciplinary expertise (law, forensic sciences, criminology) to analyse international criminal law and procedure.<\/p>\n

In recent years, my research on international crimes has taken a radically inter-disciplinary approach. It analyses the use of forensic evidence both in the investigation and prosecution of international crimes and in the identification of victims and the building of post-atrocity memory. I gradually acquired a unique expertise on the links between international criminal law and justice, transitional justice and forensic sciences. From 2012 to 2016, I was co-investigator on the multi-disciplinary research programme \u2018Corpses of Genocide and Mass Violence\u2019, funded by an ERC Starting Grant and led by social anthropologist Elisabeth Anstett and Holocaust historian Jean-Marc Dreyfus. This programme notably led to the creation of the academic journal Human Remains and Violence: An Interdisciplinary Journal\u00a0<\/a> (Manchester University Press), for which I am co-editor (law). I am currently working on the use of forensic and medical evidence in atrocity trials, and in particular in the prosecution of international crimes of sexual violence.<\/p>\n
