Dr. Mattia Cacciatori is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies at the University of Bath, affiliated with the Centre for the Study of Violence. His research focuses on international law, international relations theory, and transitional justice, particularly examining the prosecution of Heads of State for human rights violations and the role of institutions like the International Criminal Court (ICC). He has contributed to prominent blogs such as Justice in Conflict and The Conversation, analyzing global justice issues.
His academic work explores paradoxes in prosecuting sitting leaders, the symbolic and practical challenges of international justice, and the intersection of technology (e.g., cryptocurrencies) with world society frameworks. Recent publications (2024) critically assess the ICC’s role in conflict prevention, democracy, and geopolitical symbolism. Earlier research includes studies on chemical weapon use in Syria and African leaders’ accountability.
Cacciatori’s research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to justice and peace. He has supervised one doctoral student and remains actively engaged in debates about global governance and legal mechanisms for resolving conflicts and holding powerholders accountable.
