Biography

My name is Katia Mehu and I was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I leave behind a career in appellate prosecution in the United States (Phoenix, Arizona), to pursue a LL.M. at the University of Cambridge. I am committed to upholding the principles of human dignity, equality, and equity at the global level and believe that promoting the rule of law at the national and international levels provides one mechanism to achieving those ideals. Academically, I will be pursuing a specialisation in international law at the Faculty of Law. My post-graduate programme will encompass coursework in international criminal law, international human rights law, law of armed conflicts, and international environmental law. I will obtain theoretical knowledge of legal principles unique to public international law, encompassing its core values, concepts, practices, and terminology. Once I complete my studies, I hope to pursue a career in the field of public international law.
