Bio
Giulia Bosi is a Research Fellow in International Law (assegnista di ricerca) and a PhD candidate in Human Rights and Global Politics at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy. Her main areas of interest include International Human Rights Law (IHRL), International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and Global and European Health Law. Her expertise lies in the right to health, and the provision of healthcare in armed conflict. Her research project focuses on the protection of mental health in IHRL and IHL.
During the PhD, she has been a Visiting Fellow at the Geneva Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (Switzerland) & the University of Groningen (Netherlands). She participated as a civil-military cooperation advisor in the Joint Stars 22/23, the most important Italian military exercise which involved the Armed Forces, Red Cross, & Civil Protection, spending three weeks at a military base.
She holds a Law Degree (LLB + LLM, summa cum laude) from the University of Bologna, where she was awarded as one of the best law students out of more than 5,000 people for three consecutive years, and an LLM in Transnational Law (with distinction) from King’s College London.
Before starting the PhD, Giulia worked as a legal trainee for the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva and for the European Organisation for Rare Diseases in Brussels. She also volunteered for various NGOs across many countries, including Brazil, Peru, Tanzania and South Africa.
In 2021, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs appointed her as that year's Italian Delegate for Health to the G7 Youth, the official youth engagement group for the G7. She also collaborated with the Italian Ministry of Health in the context of the Global Health Security Agenda, an international partnership to achieve a world safe from global health threats posed by infectious diseases.
