Whilst our twitter presence has remained strong throughout 2018, I am aware that The ACtHPR Monitor hasn’t produced much content on our blog; our last post was in May in fact- yikes!
Despite this fallow period, I’m pleased to say we are redoubling our efforts to produce as much African Court related content as possible in 2019. With this in mind, I am delighted to announce the appointment of Misha Plagis as The ACtHPR Monitor’s new Associate Editor!
Misha received her LL.B. and LL.M. from Maastricht University, before working with a number of NGOs around the world. Misha then pursued her doctorate at the Freie Universität Berlin, as part of the Human Rights Under Pressure interdisciplinary graduate school. Having completed her doctorate this year, Misha is currently a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Procedural Law, Luxembourg.
Misha is a South African and Dutch national, who’s scholarship this year has focused on the African Charter and the African Court. I think Misha is going to be a great fit at The ACtHPR Monitor. She will be regularly posting her own content (first post coming this week) as well as facilitating new guest posts and coming up with new and exciting ideas for The ACtHPR Monitor in 2019.
I hope the whole Monitor community will join me in welcoming Misha on board!
