Gentian Zyberi
Background and education
I hold a bachelor degree in law (LL.B) from Tirana University, Albania, and a Master's degree (LL.M) and a PhD degree in International Law from Utrecht University, the Netherlands.
Currently I am working at the Norwegian Center for Human Rights of the University of Oslo. Previously I have worked at the Amsterdam Center for International Law of the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights of Utrecht University.
Research interests and teaching
During the last fourteen years I have done research, published and taught in the areas of international human rights, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and public international law for universities in the Netherlands, Albania, the US, China, and Norway. My PhD research, carried out at the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights from 2003 to 2007, focused on the contribution of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to interpreting and developing international human rights and humanitarian law rules and principles.
My current research focuses on the contribution of the ICJ and other international courts to interpreting and developing rules and principles of international law of human rights and humanitarian law, on issues concerning the responsibility to protect, and transitional justice.
International legal practice
In 2009, I served as legal adviser and coordinator of the Albanian legal team in the Kosovo case before the ICJ. From November 2004 to December 2012 I have worked for the Defense in two cases before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), namely the Limaj et al and the Haradinaj et al.
Together with Professor Terry D. Gill, I co-authored a legal expert amicus brief for the United States Court of Military Commission Review and the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in the case of United States v. Salim Hamdan (filed respectively in December 2009 and November 2011).
Reviewer for scholarly publications
Besides participating and giving presentations in several expert conferences and seminars, I have served as external reviewer for books and articles for Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press and Intersentia. I have also reviewed articles for the SOAS Research Student Society‟s Journal, the Human Rights and International Legal Discourse Journal, the Utrecht Law Review, the World Trade Review, International Law in Context, Leiden Journal of International Law and The Hague Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law. I have served in the Editorial Board of the Utrecht Law Review (2005-2010) and the Journal of Politics and Law (Canadian Center of Science and Education).
