About the speaker
Ramez Hayek is a Palestinian PhD researcher and both Hardiman and Research Ireland Scholar at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, where his work focuses on the legal and historical dimensions of genocide in the Palestinian context since 1948, and he's supervised by Professor Shane Darcy. He holds two Master's degrees: one in Human Rights Law from the Central European University, and another in Peace Operations, Humanitarian Law, and Conflict from the University of Galway.
In his professional capacity, Ramez serves as a research assistant to Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967. He was also the lead researcher for the Palestinian Archive at Mnemonic, where he leads efforts to archive, investigate, and memorialize digital information documenting human rights violations and international crimes in Palestine. His experience also spans several key roles in human rights advocacy and legal research, having worked with renowned organizations such as UNICEF, PEN America, SWEDO, and Amnesty International.
