Curriculum vitae
Anne-Sophie Massa joined the Faculty of Law at Maastricht University as a PhD candidate at the Criminal Law Department in October 2007. She obtained a master’s degree in Law in 2000 from the University of Liège, Belgium, with great distinction. She has been lecturer, teaching assistant and researcher at the Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Department of the University of Liège from 2000 to 2002, before heading for Cambridge in order to complete a LL.M. in Public International Law with a specialization in International Criminal Law and International Humanitarian Law (2003). In 2005, she earned, as a Rotary World Peace Fellow, a Joint Masters’ Degree in Law and in International and Area Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. Since then, she has been a J.S.D. candidate at the University of California at Berkeley, writing her dissertation to be defended in May 2008 on the concept of humanitarian intervention and its consequences in International Law.
She has keen interests in European and International Criminal Law, Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law.
Her research in Maastricht, which aims at defining what the principles of jurisdiction in time and in space should consist of in a general part of criminal law for the European Union, takes place in the broader context of the project “Towards a general part of Criminal Law for the European Union”. This project envisions constructing a general part of European criminal law by merging the general principles of criminal law, common to the member states of the European Union, with the fragments of a general part to be found in the European Union legislations and case law. The dissertation is written under the supervision of Prof. Mr. André Klip and Prof. Dr. Taru Spronken.
