New Doctoral Students
Although the Centre’s graduate student community continues to grow, some have never set foot on campus… until recently. Don’t forget to say hello the next time you’re in!
Laura Acosta Zárate
Laura is a criminal lawyer originally from Bogotá, Colombia. Her research focuses on the study of accountability of combatants recruited by illegal organizations during their childhood. She received her law degree (equivalent to an LL.B.) from Universidad del Rosario (Colombia) and holds a master’s degree in Criminal Justice System from University of Lleida (Spain).
After completing her master’s degree in Criminological Research at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), Laura worked for the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, in the investigation of criminal cases associated with the armed conflict in Colombia. Previously, she supported the work of the Office of delegated prosecutors before the Supreme Court of Justice. Here, she took part of the investigation as a law clerk of war crimes and the responsibility of State agents.
