The title of my PhD is: 'How systematic were the British Army's war crimes in Iraq between 2003 and 2009? An investigation into Britain's abuse of underage Iraqi boys'. It is an examination of the scope and scale of the British Army's perpetration of torture, murder, inhumane treatment, and sexual violence during the occupation of Iraq, specifically concerning cases involving underage Iraqi male victims. I have previously had articles published on the British Army's perpetration of torture, murder, and sexual violence against Iraqi boys, and on other war crimes committed by the British Army in Iraq, in which I used information gathered from Freedom Of Information requests, legal documentation, and reportage by the International Criminal Court.

The title of my MA thesis, which I undertook at King's College London in 'Global Ethics and Human Values', was: 'Was it moral for America, Britain and France to pursue regime change in Syria from 2011 onwards?'. I argued that the Western regime change policy in Syria was immoral; I obtained a Distinction and the award for the best annual dissertation.
