International Law and Human Rights

The topic focuses on analyzing the effect that the factual sides of international legal treaties have in real-life contexts. Looking at international issues through the international policies that apply, and vice versa may help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current systems in place. Following that, the ways in order to improve the policies through a bottom-up approach can be identified.

Hanna Nyssen

My name is Hanna and I am a 2nd year Global Law student at Tilburg University and I just finished my Engage.EU semester at the University of Mannheim in the Area of International Humanitarian Law.

If I’m not studying or reading, I enjoy doing sports, hiking and socialising, as well as building a professional network.

Within the Nomosphone podcast, I am part of the focus group on International Law and global issues, discussing International Humanitarian Law and other areas of International Law through events.

These themes represent my passion for international law to the highest extent, as one is able to highlight the difference between law between countries on paper and how this plays out within a realistic scope.
