Profile
I am a lawyer with an additional background in philosophy. My resarch work is dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of vulnerable children. I specialize in children’s rights in healthcare, with a particular focus on their right to play and to participate in medical decision-making. Another key area of my work concerns the rights of children affected by war and conflict, emphasizing their recognition and potential as agents of peace.
