Marc Schack

Marc Schack serves as an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen, affiliated with iCourts - Centre of Excellence for International Courts and Governance. His academic work bridges theoretical international law with practical security challenges in contemporary conflicts.

Research Focus: Schack's scholarship centers on critical intersections of international legal frameworks:

• Use of force doctrine (jus ad bellum) in modern military operations
• International humanitarian law compliance in cyber warfare and drone strikes
• Danish national security legislation governing intelligence services
• Legal dimensions of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine
• Civilian protection mechanisms during asymmetric conflicts

Publication Trends: Recent works (2024-2025) demonstrate acute responsiveness to unfolding global crises, particularly analyzing the Ukraine war's legal dimensions, Israel-Gaza conflict jurisprudence, and cyber warfare regulation. His InterMil update series provides timely legal assessments of emerging military technologies like the F-35 program, while media contributions correct widespread misconceptions about international law's application in real-time conflicts.

Affiliation: As a core researcher at iCourts, Schack contributes to the center's mission of examining international courts' evolving role in global governance through empirical studies of legal implementation in security contexts.
