Biography

Annika joined Durham Law School as a Lecturer in International Law in 2015. Before moving to Durham, she taught at the University of Nottingham and held a lectureship at the University of Exeter. Her previous experience includes posts within the International Criminal Court’s Trial and Appeals Chambers and work on the development of the National Implementing Legislation Database, which is part of the International Criminal Court's Legal Tools Project. 

Annika’s research interests span the fields of international criminal law, public international law and international human rights law. Her recent publications have focused on judicial interaction in the adjudication of international crimes and implications of the demand for efficiency and effectiveness in the international criminal justice process. 

Alongside her teaching on LLB and LLM programmes, Annika has taught international criminal law on professional courses, including for the Thai Judiciary and UK Ministry of Defence.

Annika holds a first class degree in Law (LLB), an LLM in International Criminal Justice and Armed Conflict (with distinction) and a PhD from the University of Nottingham. In 2012, Annika was awarded the University of Nottingham Endowed Postgraduate Prize for her doctoral research, which examined the use of external case law by the International Criminal Court.

Annika is a fellow of the Forum for International Criminal and Humanitarian Law (FICHL) and a member of the editorial board of the International Criminal Law Review. She is also a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
