James O'Neill
James O'Neill was educated at Canterbury, Victoria and Auckland Universities. From 1971-73, O'Neill was a lecturer at the University of Bergen, Norway. From there, he went to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe as a consultant. In 1975 O'Neill took up an appointment at the University of Waikato and taught there from 1975 to 1986, the last two years on a part-time basis as he commenced practising law in January 1985.
James O'Neill has been practising as a barrister ever since, initially in New Zealand and since 2002 in Queensland. Outside the law his main interests are in human rights and foreign affairs. In the case of 9/11 the two intersect in a variety of interesting ways. For example, the US government used the events of that date to justify the attacks on both Iraq and Afghanistan and to set in place a series of events that undermined what we had previously believed to be respect for the law, human rights and the notion of legal accountability for human actions.
