Current Research:
I am the head of the Centre for International Law at the Institute of International Relations, Prague. I also teach public international law at the Faculty of Law of the Charles University in Prague. Since 2010, I have represented the Czech Republic in the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe and since 2020 I have been the chair of the Czech Government’s Committee on Human Rights of Older Persons. Having a background in both law and political science, I like to combine theoretical research with a more policy-oriented approach. In my research, I focus on human rights, international humanitarian law, the use of force, fight against terrorism, and the theory of international law. In my policy-oriented studies, I concentrate on human rights and democracy promotion in foreign policy.
