Michael K. Addo researches and teaches international human rights law with a particular interest in the broad area of evidence-based human rights law.  His recent work on The Legal Nature of International Human Rights Law (Nijhoff) 2010 is in this tradition and so also is his work on human rights and transnational corporations.  

In 2011, Michael was appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council to join its Working Group on Business and Human Rights to advice and promote the implementation of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.  This appointment is for an initial period of three years and subject to renewal.
