I have been working since 1995 in the external relations department of the European Commission, first in the Middle East department (as desk officer for Lebanon and Jordan, following which I was posted in Beirut, Lebanon), second in the Asia department (regional desk followed by Indonesia desk). I have a background in political science (Masters degree of the Institute of Political Studies in Paris - "Sciences Po"), public law (Master degree from University of Paris I) and I have completed a Master in international human rights law at Oxford University (graduation expected: April 2006). My main interest stem from the inter-cultural dimension of my work: I am developing a research, based on my work in Oxford on caste and international law, on how particular cultures and the universalistic human rights framework can be made compatible and how individual and group aspiration to equality can be articulated.
