Camille Montavon holds a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Laws from the Law Faculty of the University of Neuchâtel (UNINE). Since 2017, she has worked as a doctoral assistant at the Chaire de droit pénal et de criminologie of the same University. In 2021, she co-founded the online legal platform crimen.ch offering summaries and comments on case law in the field of Swiss criminal law.
Her interest in alternative justice mechanisms and, more generally, in Transitional Justice, Criminal Law and the Philosophy of punishment, led her to write her Master's thesis under the supervision of Prof. Sévane Garibian on the issue of the legitimacy of peoples' tribunals, studied in the light of the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal for the Trial of Japan's Military Sexual Slavery. As an associate doctoral researcher in this SNSF project, she prepares her thesis under the supervision of Prof. Sévane Garibian, on the contribution of peoples' tribunals to the development of international law and to transitional justice in contexts of impunity.
