Dr Ainoa Cabada is a Lecturer and Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Adelaide. She has a particular interest in the role that sovereignty plays in human rights as a result of state dominance.

In her book entitled "The UN Charter, the Refugee Convention and the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine: Toward a Preventative Protection Regime”, Dr Cabada argues that the current international refugee protection regime articulates a narrow and reactive approach to protection and suggests that protection ought to be also preventative.

Dr Cabada’s expertise focuses on early warning of mass atrocities, refugee migration, blacklisting of political dissidents and authoritarianism. She has published in prestigious academic journals, and she has presented her research at national and international conferences.
