Research interests

Professor M茅gret's interests lie in international criminal justice, international human rights law, international humanitarian law, the law of international organizations, transitional justice, criminal law, and general international law. He has a long-term interest in developing theories about the nature and history of international criminal justice. His work on international human rights is more explicitly critical in nature, seeking to uncover what lies behind the project of simultaneously internationalizing and legalizing human rights. He is interested in attempting to 鈥渞e-imagine鈥� the laws of war with a view in particular to prodding some of the limits of the humanitarian tradition from the point of view of the jus contra bellum and pacifism.

In addition, Professor M茅gret has a long-standing interest in (i) the idea of resistance, including civil disobedience and armed rebellion, in international law, (ii) the role and status of the state in international law and particularly international law's role in consolidating the state's monopoly on legitimate force, (iii) the responsibility and accountability of international organizations, notably in peacekeeping environments, (iv) migrations, the protection of aliens, and diasporas, (v) the anthropocentrism of international law and human rights.

Professor M茅gret is always interested in supervising graduate work on these issues and is particularly interested in students with strong backgrounds in legal or political theory.
