Margot Salomon is Associate Professor in the Law Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where she directs the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy at LSE Human Rights and coordinates a cross-departmental research group on Globalisation, Poverty and Responsibility. She is also an Associate of LSE and Leeds's Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP). Her educational background includes a PhD in International Law from LSE, an LLM in International Human Rights Law from University College London, an MA in Comparative European Social Studies from the University of Amsterdam, and a BA from Concordia University in Montreal. Salomon's research critically examines the relationship between international law, poverty, and economic globalization. Her work spans socio-economic rights, indigenous rights, environmental justice, and the political economy of international law. She explores how international legal frameworks interact with capitalism and investigates possibilities for transformative human rights approaches that challenge dominant economic paradigms. Her recent scholarship has focused on peasant rights, debt, austerity, and the potential for emancipatory legal frameworks that move beyond conventional human rights approaches. Her publications reveal a consistent focus on the structural dimensions of poverty and inequality within international legal frameworks. She has pioneered work on extraterritorial obligations through the Maastricht Principles and has examined how economic governance structures impact human rights. Her scholarship demonstrates a growing emphasis on radical alternatives to conventional human rights approaches, particularly through engagement with peasant movements, commons-based approaches, and post-growth paradigms. European Society of International Law Book Prize (2019) for The Misery of International Law Belgian European Francqui Chair (2018) Salomon has supervised numerous PhD candidates in areas including socio-economic rights, development and international law, and environmental rights, often working in cross-disciplinary supervisory teams. Her advisory work extends to significant policy impact, having served as consultant to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on extreme poverty and human rights, and to the World Bank on Human Rights and Economics. She has been involved with major initiatives including the Maastricht Principles on Extraterritorial Obligations and has advised the Speaker of the Greek Parliament on socio-economic rights during the debt crisis. She directs the Laboratory for Advanced Research on the Global Economy at LSE Human Rights, which serves as an interdisciplinary hub for critical research on the global economic order and its relationship to human rights. The Laboratory fosters dialogue between legal scholars, economists, political scientists, and activists working on transformative approaches to global justice.
