Mgr. Michala Chadimová, LL.M., PhD.

Doctoral project

Superior responsibility and its application to the crime of genocide

Description

František focuses especially on the legal status of private military and security companies under international humanitarian law. His doctoral research project also deals with various issues connected to their corporate nature. He does not want to analyze them only through the individual status of their employees. Rather, he focuses on PMSCs as collective entities, which actively participate in armed conflict as well as post-conflict situations.

Education and professional experience

Michala is working on the applicability of superior responsibility to the crime of genocide. She examines the potential clash between a responsibility for omission, arguably including a notion of negligence, and a crime distinct by special ‚genocidal‘ intent.

​

Michala graduated from the Amsterdam University (LL.M., International Public and European Law). She did her internship at the ICC and participated in the prosecution of Bosco Ntaganda for war crimes and crimes against humanity. She also served at the Office of the Co-Prosecutor at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia.  She is a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.

Projects
