Sarah Jamal

Sarah Jamal is a Lecturer in Public Law at the University of Paris-Panthéon-Assas, specializing in international legal frameworks. She teaches United Nations Human Rights System, Public International Law, European Union Law, Immigration Law, and Administrative Law while conducting research through the Center for Research on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (CRDH).

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate in Public Law (Public International Law specialization), University of Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas
• Master 2 Research in Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, University of Paris 2 Panthéon-Assas
• Professional Master 2 in Public Litigation, University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne

Research interests center on public international law and human rights law, with particular focus on environmental-human rights intersections, digital technologies in legal investigations, and decolonization jurisprudence. Her work critically examines the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' applicability to emerging issues like environmental protection and digital surveillance, while analyzing tensions between international human rights bodies through case studies like face-covering bans.

Recent publications (2019-2021) reveal three dominant trends: (1) jurisdictional challenges in international courts (Palestine/ICC case), (2) environmental-human rights linkages (Portillo Caceres case), and (3) systematic commentary on ICESCR articles addressing science, culture, and international cooperation. These works demonstrate consistent engagement with treaty interpretation and evolving state obligations.

As Editorial Director of Fundamental Rights journal and lead researcher for the externally funded project "Individual participation in surveys through social networks" (Institute for Studies and Research on Law and Justice), she bridges academic scholarship with practical legal applications. Her CRDH affiliation facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration on human rights monitoring methodologies.
