Equality Under Occupation: Revisiting the Principle of Non-Discrimination in Occupied Territory

Objective

Discrimination under military occupation is often systematic, especially in prolonged and transformative occupations. This is because occupation is imposed by a foreign power on a population often diverse in terms of, inter alia, citizenship, ethnicity and religion. However, non-discrimination norms are fragmented in overlapping legal regimes. Yet, the guarantees provided by the principle of non-discrimination under occupation are underexplored.
EQUO aims to understand how the principle of non-discrimination functions in occupation. To this end, I will innovatively combine a legal-doctrinal and legal comparative research with social sciences methodologies—political science, and gender, discrimination and post-colonial studies—to (1) systematise the legal guarantees of non-discrimination in occupation (2) analyse forms and role of discrimination in occupation in the Middle East/Ukraine/Western Sahara/Northern Cyprus and (3) assess the potential obligations of third parties in cases of violations of the principle of non-discrimination by an occupant.
Based at Paris 1 University, EQUO will be supervised by Prof. Paolo Palchetti, a world-leading international law scholar, and co-supervised by Dr Gregory Daho, Maître de Conférences in political science. Their expertise and the multidisciplinary and intergenerational environment at the host institution provide the ideal context for the development of EQUO. The Fellowship will include a secondment at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law and study visit at the University of Westminster.
EQUO will produce the first-ever study of the principle of non-discrimination in occupation, thus developing my research profile for an academic career. Clarifications on the contours of the non-discrimination principle will substantially contribute to international law, with an impact on occupation studies at large, while also contributing to shape litigation strategies and policies.
