Works in the intersection of criminal law and constitutional law address methodological, conceptual, normative, and doctrinal implications of perspectives centered on the notion of human dignity.

A similar orientation informs the work on transitional justice and international criminal law, where transitional justice is recast as transition into a form of political life more conducive to the prevention of future atrocities.
