Marie José Alting von Geusau

Consultant/manager

Member of Hague Rule of Law Network

I am a historian, a generalist, and my so called 'career' in the field of specific rule of law consists of three years directorship of a small NGO, CILC, Center for International Legal Cooperation. My affinity with justice, however, has been strong throughout my career. At first as a senior advisor and consultant working on international issues concerning vulnerable groups (young, elderly, handicapped, socially excluded), my interventions as a consultant/interim manager in the field of global health and honour related crimes and my 20 years of personal commitment to improving the social and economic situation in Afghanistan.
