Research Topic
My research is on the protection of human rights under international
law.
There are several legal frameworks for human rights protection, such as
international human rights treaties and domestic constitutions.
As the contents
of these frameworks sometimes overlap and sometimes contradict, it needs a
certain theory to understand the relations between them.
For that purpose, I
try to introduce legal pluralism, which premises the coexistence of different
legal systems.
