Hello, Fellow: Antal Berkes

Antal Berkes is senior lecturer in law at the University of Liverpool, School of Law and Social Justice since July 2021. His research interests are public international law and international human rights law. His current research develops third State responsibility in international law, the history of interwar international legal thought and various issues in international human rights law. Within the Fellowship, he works on ‘addressing third state complicity in modern slavery: protection against major wrongs in global supply chains’, focusing on the extent to which international law could effectively address certain transactions because they amount to complicity in forced labour and slavery. Berkes will collaborate with senior researchers of the Faculty of Law who have closely followed the regulatory developments of global supply chains and third state responsibility in public international law.
