Biography
Dr Manuela Melandri’s research interests lie at the intersection of international law and post-conflict justice issues. She has published journal articles on the complementarity system of the International Criminal Court, gender justice in post-war settings, just war theory and the ethics of post-conflict reconstruction as well as on the topic of self-determination. She holds a PhD in Law from University College London.
'Manuela Melandri’s book makes an important contribution to the study of self-determination, by exploring the potential for the right not just as a mechanism for the break-up of states but a standard in their reconstruction.'
James Summers, University of Lancaster, UK
