Bio

Amelia Süsserott is a PhD Candidate at Lancaster University. Amelia’s thesis reexamines the role of State intent within existing understandings of constructive refoulement under international refugee law. Her research seeks to explore and better understand how policies that do not intend to compel asylum seekers and refugees to leave on paper, but have the effect of doing so, should be treated when it comes to constructive refoulement. She has experience contributing towards multiple human rights research projects, including one project, in collaboration with a human rights NGO, that sought to pursue justice for victim-survivors of State crimes via international courts. Alongside her PhD, Amelia works as a Research Impact Officer at King’s College London, across The Dickson Poon School of Law and King’s Business School.
