Ms Cottone earned a Ph.D. in international public law and international relations at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). She defended a case study on the relations between Lebanon and the Middle-East and the European Union under international law, including an analysis on the question of Palestine in country and in the region (e.g. displacement, self-determination and the right to return). She has a degree in Law and is specialised in the international protection of human rights and the law of the sea. In her academic research she adopts an integral approach to protect and guarantee individual rights focused on reinforcing interstate cooperation on security and governance of human mobility as a fundamental measure to combat transnational crime.
Since 2011 she also serves the United Nations in various functions and programs in both emergency and development setting.
Out of the United Nations system, Linda served the Italian government through legal advisory and research on social policies for the integration of regular migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, as well as victims of trafficking in persons.
