Billy Melo Araujo is a Senior Lecturer at Queen's University Belfast's School of Law and Deputy Theme Lead of 'People, Firms, Places' at the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP). His academic work bridges legal scholarship with practical policy engagement, focusing on the complex intersection of international trade law, EU external relations, and constitutional arrangements within the UK. His research interests primarily center on international trade law with specific expertise in EU external trade relations, trade in services, trade and sustainable development, and the democratic legitimacy of trade agreements. A significant portion of his work examines the legal and practical implications of the Northern Ireland Protocol and Windsor Framework, particularly how these arrangements interact with UK trade agreements and affect Northern Ireland's position within both the UK internal market and EU regulatory frameworks. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on the challenges of implementing trade policy within the UK's devolved structures. His work demonstrates how trade agreements increasingly overlap with devolved competences (approximately 91% according to his research), creating tensions between Westminster's trade policy and devolved administrations' regulatory autonomy. He has produced influential analyses on topics including Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol, steel trade arrangements affecting Northern Ireland, and the role of devolved nations in UK trade policymaking. Dr. Melo Araujo maintains strong connections with government bodies, having provided expert testimony to multiple parliamentary committees including the House of Commons International Trade Committee, the Scottish Parliament's Finance and Constitution Committee, and House of Lords committees. He has also consulted for the Northern Ireland Department for the Economy and provided training to governments across the devolved administrations on international trade law. His advisory approach emphasizes the importance of incorporating devolved perspectives into trade policymaking to create more coherent and resilient trade arrangements that properly reflect the territorial diversity of the UK. His work suggests that treating devolved administrations as genuine partners in trade policy development would strengthen rather than undermine the UK's overall trade position.
