PhD candidates
Nienke van der Have
Nienke is a PhD candidate in the SHARES Project.
She conducts research on the prevention of gross human rights violations under international law.
Her research seeks to determine to what extent states have a responsibility to prevent gross human rights violations under international law, what the scope of that responsibility is, in which cases and under what circumstances it is triggered and how it is distributed among states. For the latter aspect, she will develop alongside and in close correspondence with the SHARES project.
Nienke has an LLB degree in International and European Law (2009) from the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and an LLM Public International Law (2011 cum laude) from the University of Amsterdam. During her studies, she worked as a research-assistant at both universities and completed an internship abroad.
