Kristian Henk received his lawyer's degree (Magister Iuris) in 2004 at the University of Vienna and is currently realising his doctoral thesis focusing on the responsibility of transnational corporations for human rights violations at the Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights, Vienna. He has gathered professional experience in the Austrian Judiciary, the Austrian Red Cross, the Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights, the Austrian Ombudsman Board and the Madrid-based think tank FRIDE. His specific areas of interest and activity so far have been: international human rights law, international criminal law, indigenous people's rights, rights of migrants and asylum seekers as well as business corporations and human rights. He contributed with a sub chapter on civil actions against business corporations for human rights violations to the study “Economy and Human Rights” of the Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights which will be published within 2008. His input to CEDHA's work as a fellow researcher persists in counselling and analysing possible strategies within the international human rights regime, in particular in the pulp mill case.
