Bercault's research centers on International Criminal Justice and the psychological impact of war on children, particularly through analysis of children's graphic expressions in conflict zones. His investigations in Darfur, Chad, Iraq, and other regions have documented war crimes and crimes against humanity, with findings directly influencing proceedings at the International Criminal Court and United Nations Security Council.
His publication record (2011-2020) demonstrates consistent focus on human rights documentation methodologies, refugee experiences, and interdisciplinary approaches to conflict studies. Key contributions include forensic analysis of the Chad dictatorship archives, innovative research on children's drawings as evidence in war zones, and critical examinations of photojournalism's role in human rights advocacy.
