Professor James Sweeney is a Professor in Lancaster University. His research is about the aftereffects of conflict: principally human rights in transitional democracies, and the rights of refugees.
His monograph, 'The European Court of Human Rights in the post-Cold War Era: Universality in
Transition' was published in hardback by Routledge in November 2012, and in paperback in 2014.
His work on the human rights of failed asylum seekers was cited by the House of Lords in the case
of R (on the application of M) v Slough BC [2008] UKHL 52, by the Court of Appeal in R. (on the
application of SL) v Westminster City Council [2011] EWCA Civ 954, and most recently in R. (on the
application of Refugee Action) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2014] EWHC 1033
(Admin). In the latter case Home Secretary Theresa May was found to have acted irrationally by
freezing the level of cash support to be provided to asylum seekers to meet their essential living
needs, for the financial year 2013/14, at the rates which had applied since 2011.
Prof. Sweeney has acted as an expert advisor to the Council of Europe in relation to freedom of
assembly projects in Armenia, Azerbaijan (with the Venice Commission), Georgia, and Kosovo. In
March 2011 he delivered human rights legal training to judges of the Ukrainian Supreme Court as
part of a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office project. Likewise in 2013 and 2014 he convened a
series of workshops on human rights and judicial interpretation for the Constitutional and Supreme
Courts of Kosovo, on behalf of the FCO. Throughout 2009 he acted as an expert advisor to the EU's
Committee of the Regions as it prepared its Opinion on reforms to the Common European Asylum
System.
Prof. Sweeney joined Lancaster University Law School in 2013. Prior to that, he has worked at
Durham, Newcastle and Hull. From 2011-2013 he was Deputy Director of Durham Global Security
Institute.
