Meet the Team

“The Promise Europe projects I've been involved in have revealed diverse ways in which international law can be creatively leveraged to address environmental challenges. I'm eager to continue exploring the untapped potential of international law in this area and to contribute new concepts to its evolving framework."

Xuchen is part of the team that works with the ICC OTP to develop a policy paper on accountability for environmental crimes under the Rome Statute, and she is on the roster of Ecocide Law Advisory.

She also contributed to our submission on the Gaza conflict to the Arms Trade Treaty Working Group, and our brief on the UK water crisis for the UN Special Rapporteur on the human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.

Most recently, she has co-authored an article comparing new and proposed national ecocide laws with executive director Kate Mackintosh which is pending publication. 

Xuchen’s dedication, expertise, and professionalism make her an invaluable member of our team. We look forward to seeing her continue to make an impact in the field of international criminal law, human rights and the protection of the environment!
