Bringing together human rights researchers, practitioners and policy-makers from across the globe
Avani is currently a Roy Goode Scholar pursuing MPhil in Law at University of Oxford under the supervision of Dr. Liz Fisher. Her thesis focusses on the need for a World Environment Organisation (WEO) in International Environmental Law as a norm-creating, norm-enforcing and dispute settling organisation. She argues that a ‘proponents vs. opponents approach’ against WEO is rather simplistic and requires an appreciation of the underlying themes of the debate such as fragmentation and co-ordination; vertical-horizontal integration and the intermix of law and politics for a nuanced discussion.
She purused B.A. LLB (Honors) from Hidayatullah National Law University (Raipur, India) and BCL from University of Oxford (Oxford, UK). She is currently the President of Oxford Lawyers Without Borders and has been the Panel Leader of West Papua Panel for the last two years. Avani is working on the Free Speech Debate project with Prof. Timothy Garton Ash and is also the Associate Editor of the Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal. She is Charities and Development Officer and a Peer Supporter at Linacre College. Avani is the National Youth Focal Point (India) for Eradicating Ecocide. She has received scholarship for an Academic Exchange Programme to Max Plank Institute for Comparative and International Private Law (Hamburg, Germany) where she will be researching on “What can the Indian courts learn from the world?” in April 2013.
