Erin's areas of expertise include the humanitarian impact of landmines and cluster munitions as well as the Ottawa Treaty, the Convention on Cluster Munitions, the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the ongoing diplomatic efforts to prohibit autonomous weapons systems (killer robots), and gender and disarmament.
