Sarah Stephan is originally from Osnabrück/Germany. She holds a Bachelor degree in European and Comparative Law from the Hanse Law School of the Universities of Bremen and Oldenburg. She has complemented her law studies with courses in political sciences, in particular in global governance and peace and conflict studies. Sarah has discovered her passion for International Law already during her Bachelor studies. This led her to the University of Helsinki where she first did an exchange and later returned to complete an LL.M. in Public International Law. Sarah is particularly interested in the legal implications of international post-conflict governance and in questions concerning the position of Human Rights in Europe. During her stay as a guest researcher at the Åland Islands Peace Institute she will deal with the role of regions in the European Union.
