Dr Nathanael Tilahun is an international law scholar passionate about researching the intersections of crime, security, finance, and international law, particularly in the context of developing states.
His research focuses on the use of economic sanctions for achieving various domestic and foreign policy goals (such as counter-terrorism and human rights promotion), assessing the role of global standard-setting and monitoring bodies (such as the FATF), investigating the role of law in combatting transnational crimes, and reimagining the function of law in the story of global inequality, financial exclusion, and security.
Dr Tilahun has provided consultancy in financial crime law, mutual legal assistance & extradition regimes, anti-terrorism law, national risk assessment, national financial security policy development, prison reform, and international law to law enforcement, criminal justice, judiciary, media, political parties and intergovernmental institutions, particularly in Europe and the Horn of Africa.
