Harriet Moynihan is an Associate Fellow in the International Law Programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), where she runs research projects on the application of international law to cutting edge issues.

During 2019, Harriet is a visiting research fellow at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights at the University of Oxford, and a visiting fellow of Mansfield College, Oxford.
