Biography
Dr Tomas Hamilton is at Guernica 37 Chambers in London. He was formerly Assistant Professor of International Criminal Law at the University of Amsterdam and worked for over 12 years in criminal law and human rights, at the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials (UNAKRT) at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Court of Cambodia (ECCC), in judicial chambers at the International Criminal Court (ICC), and at a leading criminal law firm in London. Currently a Steering Board member of the project 'Rethinking Secondary Liability for International Crimes', his academic research is published in leading peer-reviewed journals and focuses on corporate accountability, with a specific interest in the arms trade. His forthcoming Oxford University Press book ‘The Arms Trade and International Criminal Law’ (OUP, 2022) explores how the legal cultures of international justice have prioritised the prosecution of military and political figures to the exclusion of commercial actors. Tom holds a BA (Hons) from the University of Oxford, an LLB from the London College of Law, an LLM from the University of Cambridge, and a PhD in Law from King’s College London. He was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2011 and is a member of the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn.
