Biographical details

Professor Ben Saul is Challis Chair of International Law at the University of Sydney and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism. He is an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Social Sciences. He was the Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser Visiting Professor of Australian Studies at Harvard University in 2019, and is a former Associate Fellow of Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) in London and of the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism in The Hague.

He has published 20 books, over 100 refereed articles, and hundreds of other publications; made hundreds of scholarly presentations; and been awarded millions of dollars of research grants (including an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship). His research has been used in international and national courts and he has been involved in over 130 parliamentary inquiries. His book Defining Terrorism in International Law (2006) is the leading work on the subject, and he is lead author of the Oxford Commentary on the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (2014), awarded a Certificate of Merit by the American Society of International Law. His latest books are The Oxford Handbook on International Law in Asia and the Pacific (2020) and The Oxford Guide to International Humanitarian Law (2020).
Ben has taught law at Oxford, Harvard, The Hague and Xiamen Academies of International Law, and in China, India, Nepal, Cambodia and Italy. He has also been a visiting professor at the Max Planck Institute for International Law, and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights; and given lectures at Cambridge, NYU, LSE and for the UN Audio Visual Library of International Law.
Ben has been involved in cases before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. He was lead counsel in five successful national security cases before the UN Human Rights Committee against Australia, including FJ (2016), FKAG (2013), and MMM (2013) (arbitrary indefinite detention and inhuman treatment of 51 refugees on secret security grounds); Hicks (2016) (unlawful military trial at Guantanamo Bay); and Leghaei (2015) (secret security expulsion interfering in family rights).
Ben has advised or consulted to the United Nations (including UNODC, UNESCO, UNHCR and OHCHR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, governments, regulators, judiciaries, and NGOs (including Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières and the International Commission of Jurists), and delivered technical assistance in developing countries. He drafted the professional training curriculum on terrorism and international law for the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
Ben has also undertaken professional missions or field research in numerous countries, including Algeria, Bangladesh, Botswana, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Fiji, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Laos, Namibia, Nepal, Mexico, Myanmar, Palestine, Rwanda, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Thailand, Timor Leste, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Vietnam and Western Sahara.
Ben has served on various professional and international bodies, including the International Law Association’s Committee for the Compensation of Victims of War. He is on the editorial boards of the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism in The Hague and the Indonesian Journal of International Law, the advisory board of Kathmandu School of Law, and the advisory council of the Australian Centre for International Justice.
Previously he was Director of the Sydney Centre for International Law, Editor in Chief of the Australian International Law Journal, President of Australia’s Refugee Advice and Casework Service, a member of the Law Council of Australia’s National Human Rights Committee, the NSW Legal Aid’s Human Rights Committee, and Vice-President of Sydney PEN. He formerly worked as a Legal Officer at the Australian Law Reform Commission.
Ben frequently comments in the international media, including writing opinion in The New York Times and appearing in the BBC, CNN, ABC, Radio France, Voice of America, Voice of Russia, Al Jazeera, Radio Free Europe, The Economist, The Guardian, Le Monde, China Daily, Xinhua, The Huffington Post, El Pais, South China Morning Post, The Straights Times, Al Ahram, Haaretz, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Age.
