Nicole De Silva

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at Concordia University in Montreal. Previously, I was a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, where I also earned my DPhil in International Relations.

My interdisciplinary research broadly focuses on how governments, international organizations, and NGOs influence the promotion of human rights and legal accountability in international and domestic politics. I am particularly interested in the development of international law and the organizations that uphold it (e.g., international courts), especially in Africa.

This website provides an overview of my academic research, teaching, policy work, and media engagement.
