Bio
Alessandra Costa e Silva
I had the chance to work with Ahmed on two projects during my time at Leiden University. On top of his attention to detail and constant availability, Ahmed is an eloquent and passionate lawyer who is committed to correcting injustices through the rule of law. His presence inspired us to continue pushing forward as well.
Dorine Nauleau
I had the chance to work with Ahmed during my time at Leiden University. We were both part of the IHL Clinic and both worked on the same projects. This is why I am in a position to recommend Ahmed. He is definitely the type of colleague you want to work with: involved, organised, passionate, determined and attentive!
