Brief Statement of Research Interest

My research encompasses a diverse range of legal themes, including human rights, constitutional law, and international humanitarian law, with a focus on women's rights. Additionally, it explores various aspects of business and intellectual property law, such as trademark laws, corporate law, and intellectual property laws. The research also delves into labor laws, cyber laws, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intersections between law, business, and human rights.
