Dr Azadeh Chalabi is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the School of Law and Social Justice, University of Liverpool. She is a global leader in national human rights action planning (NHRAP) and environmental rights theory. As founder and coordinator of the first Global Network on National Human Rights Action Planning, her work bridges theoretical and practical gaps in human rights implementation. Her seminal book National Human Rights Action Planning (OUP, 2018) established foundational research in this field. Current projects include a longitudinal study of NHRAPs (1994–2024) and developing a European network for policy impact.
Her research also explores the human right to a clean environment, proposing innovative theoretical models and litigation approaches. She has pioneered a rights-based framework for climate litigation and examines intersections between business conduct and human rights. Azadeh is a member of the International Law Association’s Business and Human Rights Committee.
Teaching focuses include Human Rights Law, Climate Justice, and Research Methodology. She created popular LLM modules like Human Rights Action Planning and Climate Justice. Since 2017, she holds a Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Active in institutional governance, she represents the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences on the Race Equality Charter Award Sub Group.
Her recent grant-funded work (Policy Support Fund 2024/25) supports building Europe’s first NHRAP network. Research outputs span peer-reviewed articles and presentations at leading conferences, advancing critical discourse in human rights theory/practice and environmental jurisprudence.
