Narissa Ramsundar

Narissa Ramsundar is a Principal Lecturer at Canterbury Christ Church University within the School of Law, Policing and the Social Sciences, where she has served since January 2018. Her academic work centers on criminal responsibility and crime suppression, with specialized focus on combating impunity for international crimes and human rights violations through multidisciplinary legal frameworks.

Her educational credentials include:

• PhD from Queen Mary University (2017) on "State Responsibility for Support of Armed Groups in the Commission of International Crimes", supervised by Professor Phoebe Okowa and examined by the late Professor Robert Cryer
• LLM (Distinction) in Public International Law from King's College London
• Bachelor of Laws (2:1) and Bachelor of Arts (2:1) from the University of the West Indies

Ramsundar's research integrates doctrinal black letter law with cross-disciplinary approaches to examine accountability mechanisms across international courts, domestic legal systems, and innovative societal interventions. She investigates state responsibility before the International Court of Justice and human rights tribunals, individual criminal accountability in domestic and international courts, and unconventional methods like theatrical advocacy to address impunity. Her work specifically targets violations against vulnerable populations including the Rohingya, Kachin, Sentinelese, Tibetan, and Uighur communities across Asia.

She maintains extensive PhD supervision experience and actively solicits proposals in international crime accountability. Professional background includes eight years as a prosecutor in Trinidad and Tobago handling 100+ cases (murder, sexual offenses, narcotics trafficking), advising government institutions, and mentoring junior attorneys. From October 2020-April 2021, she served as a Visiting Professional at the International Criminal Court's Pre-Trial Chambers and presented research on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights violations at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
