Rustam Atadjanov
Rustam Atadjanov (born in Nukus, Uzbekistan) received his undergraduate degree in law from the Karakalpak State University back in 2003. Having acquired a practical legal experience as an Assistant Lawyer in the Bar Association of the Republic of Karakalpakstan and Senior Legal Consultant in the Juridical Help and Advice Center, he subsequently graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Law with an LLM degree in International Human Rights Law in 2006. Prior to joining the Albrecht Mendelssohn Bartholdy Graduate School of Law (AMBGSL) doctoral programme in August 2014, he worked as a Programme Responsible for national implementation of international humanitarian law and further on as Legal Adviser in the Regional Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Central Asia for several years. In that capacity he provided legal advice to state authorities and lectured/presented to various academic circles on issues related to humanitarian law, international criminal law, international public law, in part - international human rights law as well as different national legal systems. Rustam's background combines both academic and practical experience, with the main focus on international legal topics. His research interests include foremost the substantive and procedural issues pertaining to international criminal law and humanitarian law. Besides, he speaks several languages (Uzbek, Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian, English, French and basic German) and publishes in a number of academic journals on a wide range of topics in the sphere of international law.
PhD thesis: "Humanity" As A Constituent Element of Customary International Law Applicable to Crimes Against Humanity
As a scholarship holder under the AMBGSL programme, Rustam's research is dealing with the concept of "humanity" as it pertains to crimes against humanity. His thesis' analysis considers this particular concept in its different aspects starting from its historical development and role in international law, to contemporary state in customary international criminal law, to its place in various doctrinal theories of crimes against humanity and to the ways in which it has been so far integrated at the domestic state level. That analysis plays a key role in reviewing the exact nature of "humanity" as acquiring its own standing of a fully valid legal interest, or otherwise, within the meaning of the Rechtsgutschutz theory (protection of legal good).
