Mulry Mondélice is an Associate Professor of international law and diplomacy and the Head of the Research Group on International organizations, international law, and diplomacy at the Centre for security and crisis governance (CRITIC) at Royal Military College Saint-Jean. Before being appointed Dean of Studies at RMC Saint-Jean, he served as Associate Dean of Research after working in the co-direction and deputy direction of planning and governance of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. He managed the project of the adoption of the Policy on Academic Freedom - Royal Military College Saint-Jean, which he co-authored with Simon Hogue and contributed to the development of RMC Saint-Jean’s 2024–2029 Strategic Research Plan. He is an Associate Professor at the Faculties of Law of Université Laval and Université de Sherbrooke and at the École des sciences juridiques de l’Institut des sciences, des technologies et des études avancées d’Haïti. He has taught at various universities, institutes, and training schools in Quebec, Canada, and elsewhere, including the René Cassin Foundation - International Institute of Human Rights and the École de la magistrature d’Haïti.

His research, spanning accross general public international law, international human rights law, European Union (EU) law, legal theory, and diplomacy, encompasses four main areas. First, he analyzes the interaction between law and North American foreign policy and the EU's external action in global migration governance as part of a team project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), as well as migration movements in and from the Caribbean (co-researcher, with Olivier Delas, Université Laval, principal investigator, and Dieynaba Ndeye, Université du Québec à Montréal, co-investigator). Second, he focuses on international mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human rights and the use of international law in promoting the rule of law, particularly in international cooperation aimed at the reform of the security sector. This area extends a postdoctoral research funded by SSHRC on national human rights institutions and international cooperation at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism at the Faculty of Law of McGill University. Third, he examines the humanitarian action of international security organizations (UN, EU, NATO) and Canada in response to humanitarian crises arising from conflicts or natural disasters. This project, funded by the Canadian Defence Academy Research Program, explores the coherence of norms, including international human rights law, international refugee law, international humanitarian law, and international development law, to establish coherent practices protecting human beings in crisis response. Fourth, he analyzes North American and European humanitarian action, as well as the relations between the EU and the Organization of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS), including Haiti.

His publications, a selective list of which can be found on his profile, include around thirty works, among which six co-edited books, chapters, and scientific articles, published notably in the Revue québécoise de droit international, the Journal of International Organizations Studies, Études Caribéennes, and Droits fondamentaux, and in prestigious publishing houses such as Pedone, Bruylant, and the Presses de l'Université Laval. His monograph Le droit international et l’État de droit en contexte de crise humanitaire will be published shortly by Bruylant. An active public speaker, he has delivered over a hundred presentations in Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe, and his expert opinion has been sought after by the media as well as by public and private institutions.
