Profile

紛争地における人権問題、特に子ども兵士問題について研究を行っております。子ども兵士問題以外にも難民問題をはじめとする紛争地の人権問題全般に関して関心を持っております。また、反政府軍による戦略選択や国際安全保障、国際法・制度にも興味を持って研究をしております。

 

My research is centred on the examination of human rights concerns within conflict zones, with a particular focus on the issue of child soldiers. In addition to this topic, I am also interested in a broader range of human rights issues within the conflict zone context, including, but not limited to, the issues of refugees, sexual violence and massacre. Furthermore, I am interested in the strategic choices made by rebel forces, as well as the intersections between international security, international law and institutions.
