Christina Warner has started her PhD at Leiden University’s, Van Vollenhoven Institute, the Netherlands in September 2024. Her provisional PhD thesis title is ‘Are there sufficient strategies in place for the International Criminal Court to prosecute cases involving disabled victims of crimes under the Rome Statute?’ which questions whether the ICC’s approach to prosecuting cases involving disabled victims is sufficient within the court’s governing legislation, the Rome Statute. Christina will research whether greater guidance and formal policies are needed in prosecutions brought by the ICC involving victims and witnesses with disabilities who are impacted by war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
