He formerly worked as a practitioner in over fifteen countries, particularly in Southern Africa, Europe and the Middle East as well as with the United Nations and the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. As a socio-legal scholar, his research on legal mobilization explores the social and political dimensions of instrumentalising international law in relation to a variety of contexts and themes Karin Arts holds a professorial chair in international law and development at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, which forms part of Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. She sees and studies international law as a major factor in processes of development and/or transition, either as an instrument of change or as a vehicle for guarding the status quo. Human rights-based approaches to development, and in particular child rights-based approaches to development, are central in her recent work. Besides having ample teaching and research experience, she has professional experience in nearly twenty countries, and she advises the Dutch government and parliament on human rights matters (through the Advisory Council on International Affairs). She is also a member of the Supervisory Board of the National UNICEF Committee of the Netherlands.
