Professor Cattin combined his academic work with a career in the civil society/non-profit sector, which led to his election for three consecutive terms as Secretary General (2014-22) of Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA), the largest international network of individual legislators from all regions of the world, where he was Senior Director, Legal Advisor and European Coordinator (2000-13). At PGA, he informed, sensitised and helped mobilise parliamentarians who promoted the universality and effectiveness of the Rome Statute system in more than 120 countries, contributing to the ratification process of 78 of the current 125 States Parties, while supporting the national legislative processes of 37 countries. He recently joined the scientific committee of the Global Initiative Against Humanity (GIAI), a global civil society consortium for justice supported by the European Union.
