Dr Shahrzad Fouladvand is a Lecturer in International Criminal Law at the Sussex Law School. Prior to this, she was a lecturer in Human Rights Law at the Law School and a research fellow at the Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation (WISE), University of Hull.
She also worked as an Associate Tutor and Research Assistant at Sussex Law School where she obtained her Doctorate. Shahrzad’s doctoral project was entitled Complementarity and Cultural Sensitivity: Decision-making by the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor in Relation to the Situations in the Darfur Region of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Dr Shahrzad Fouladvand’s main research interests are in the areas of Transnational Criminal Law (TCL) and international criminal justice systems, particularly, International Criminal Court (ICC). Her research focuses on two forms of organised crime: human trafficking and Corruption. Particularly, she is interested in the ways in which these two wrongdoings are interrelated.
Shahrzad uses responsibilisation and network analysis approaches in her research. Her work also raises issues about the extent to which co-operation is possible or desirable with criminal justice agencies tainted by corruption, whether outside the EU or within it. Shahrzad’s research centres on evidential problems relating to human trafficking and the relationship between human trafficking and corruption, with a particular focus on Albania.
Shahrzad is a member of the Strategic Hub for Organised Crime (SHOC) at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI). You can read my blog on ‘Tackling Human Trafficking: Moving Away from a Prosecution-Centred Approach’ here
