Career

edit

Since 1992 he has been a university teacher of law and criminal law at the University of the Basque Country. Since 2001 he has been a full professor of criminal law at the University of the Basque Country.[13][14]

As a professor and researcher, his lines of research have focused mainly on the field of the criminal law, human rights, hate crimes, penitentiary law or International Human Rights Law.[15][16]

He has been a visiting professor or visiting researcher, among others, at the universities of Hamburg, Heidelberg and the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law of the University of Cambridge. In November 2005 he was awarded the Vom Humboldt research scholarship.[16] He is currently a full professor of Criminal Law at the University of the Basque Country and also the director of the UNESCO Chair of Human Rights and Public Powers of the University of the Basque Country.[4][16]

Landa is also the expert appointed by the Basque Government to prepare annual reports on hate crimes, or to prepare reports on victims of police abuse, political violence and others.[17]

In 2005 Landa was appointed Director of Human Rights of the Basque Government, by the Regional Minister of Justice Joseba Azkarraga. He was appointed as an independent professional (without political affiliation). He held the position during the VIII Legislature of the Basque Government (2005–2009).[9]

In 2016, the Basque Parliament approved the so-called "Police Abuse Law" (Law 12/2016, of July 28, on recognition and reparation of victims of human rights violations in the context of politically motivated violence in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country between 1978 and 1999), which recognized all victims of police abuse committed in Euskadi between 1978 and 1999.[18] Among others, there are victims like those in the Killing of Lasa and Zabala.[19][20]

To this end, the Police Abuse Law created the "Assessment Commission" of the Basque Government (Assessment Commission for the recognition and reparation of victims of police abuse).[21][22] The commission was established in 2018.[23] Landa was appointed as one of the members of the Assessment Commission by the Basque Government (along with others, such as the forensic experts Francisco Etxeberria and Benito Morentin or the human rights director Jonan Fernández).[23] Within the Assessment Commission he was appointed spokesperson.[7][24][25][26][27]
