Background:

After having spent a year in France (Strasbourg and Angers), Christophe studied law at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. After a propedeuse Dutch law (cum laude), a doctoraal International and European Law (with distinction) and a research master (cum laude), he started working as a PhD candidate at the Department of European and International Public Law of Tilburg University in 2005. On 24 September 2010, Christophe defended his PhD thesis ‘Male captus bene detentus? Surrendering suspects to the International Criminal Court’, which received a special mention from the Jury of the Max van der Stoel Human Rights Award 2011 and which has been used in procedures before the ICC. Inspiration for the subject of his PhD thesis was drawn from the thesis of his doctoraal studies which won not only the Tilburg University Thesis Prize 2004 but also the first prize for master’s theses in the framework of the Max Van Der Stoel Human Rights Award 2004. After his PhD defence, and before moving to The Hague, Christophe worked as an assistant professor at Tilburg University.

Interests and work:

Christophe’s areas of interest are international humanitarian law, international criminal law, in particular the law of the international criminal(ised) tribunals, and counter-terrorism & human rights, in particular the issue of foreign fighters. On the latter topic, he has advised several national delegations, as well as the EU, the Council of Europe and the UN. He has written extensively in all the above-mentioned areas, including in the International Criminal Law Review, the Journal of Conflict & Security Law, the European Journal of Criminology and the Journal of International Criminal Justice. He is also co-editor of the books Foreign Fighters under International Law and Beyond, Fundamental Rights in International and European Law: Public and Private Law Perspectives, Legal Responses to Transnational and International Crimes. Towards an Integrative Approach and Human Dignity and Human Security in Times of Terrorism.

Moreover, Christophe has been involved as project leader in the development and implementation of numerous lectures, expert meetings, summer programmes, conferences, databases, including the International Crimes Database, trainings, and needs assessment & capacity building missions in public international law-related projects.

Finally, his expert opinion has appeared in (inter)national media including NRC Handelsblad, de Volkskrant, De Groene Amsterdammer, Algemeen Dagblad, BNR News Radio, Voice of America, Euronews, El Pais, AFP and AP and he can be followed on Twitter via @chpaulussen.
