Andrea Furger is a Graduate Researcher and a Teaching Fellow at Melbourne Law School (MLS). Her research focuses on international criminal law and state cooperation from an interdisciplinary angle (law/international relations) and her doctoral thesis examines the complexities of extraterritorial evidence collection in the context of investigations and prosecutions of core international crimes (war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, crime of aggression).

Andrea joined MLS in 2022 after over a decade as a practitioner in the field of international criminal justice, human rights, and diplomacy. She worked at the International Criminal Court (Office of the Prosecutor), the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (mandate of the Special Rapporteur on Torture) and the Swiss Federal Public Prosecutor's Office.
