IMPACT SUMMARY
On the basis of her expertise, Steph is regularly consulted by barristers, NGOs and UN Special Rapporteurs. Most notably, she acted as a legal advisor for the applicant in the seminal ECtHR case of SAS v France, and has more recently contributed to the development of submissions in the case of Asmeta v France to both the ECtHR and the UN Human Rights Committee. She was consulted by, then UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Ahmed Shaheed in relation to his thematic report on 'Countering Islamophobia/Anti-Muslim Hatred to Eliminate Discrimination and Intolerance Based on Religion or Belief', as well as current UN Special Rapporteur in the field of Cultural Rights, Alexandra Xanthaki on her report on 'Cultural Rights and Migration', and the OSCE Advisory Panel on Freedom of Religion or Belief on 'Interreligious Engagement and Sustainable Peace'. She was also commissioned to write a report for Minority Rights Group International on 'Mainstreaming and Minority Rights-Based Approach to Refugee and Migrant Communities in Europe'.
