Background
I am a jurist and have been researching international criminal law since 2015; I also teach at universities.
From 2021 to 2023, I implemented the obligations under the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) in an internationally operating company.
I have advised government and judicial bodies on implementing international law in national law and have trained judges, prosecutors and investigators.
Since 2023, I have been providing advice and training on human rights in supply chains through Petrossian Consulting.
