Pascale MARTIN-BIDOU

Pascale MARTIN-BIDOU serves as Lecturer in Public Law at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, where she holds dual leadership roles as co-director of the Institute of Advanced International Studies (IHEI) and co-head of the Master 2 Law and Security Strategies program. Her academic profile centers on the intersection of international legal frameworks with contemporary security and environmental challenges, operating from the university's historic Panthéon campus in Paris.

Her research portfolio demonstrates deep specialization across three interconnected domains: International Law (particularly United Nations mechanisms and judicial processes), Environmental Law (with emphasis on climate security and resource governance), and International Security and Defense Law (covering terrorism, maritime security, and armed conflict). This tripartite focus manifests in her analysis of climate change as a security threat, the Montego Bay Convention's security implications, and counterterrorism legal frameworks.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2024-2015) reveals evolving scholarly priorities: early work concentrated on historical jurisprudence (e.g., Alvarez's ICJ theories), shifting toward urgent contemporary issues like Russia's Council of Europe withdrawal (2022) and climate-security linkages (2021). Her methodological approach consistently bridges theoretical legal analysis with practical security applications, particularly evident in her ongoing commentary on France's Internal Security Code since 2020.

Through her REDS (Defense and Security Education Officer) role and AFDSD board membership, she actively shapes security law pedagogy while her external ethics positions with the Defender of Rights and Melun-Val-de-Seine Urban Community demonstrate applied legal engagement beyond academia. Her leadership in the Master 2 program constitutes her primary mentoring function, guiding next-generation security law practitioners.

The Research Center of the Institute of Advanced International Studies (IHEI) serves as her primary research ecosystem, facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration on international security challenges. Her current work on the 2025 Environmental Law treatise and 2024 Public International Law Fact Sheets indicates ongoing scholarly productivity with immediate practical relevance for legal practitioners and policymakers.
