Areas of interest

Russell Buchan is an expert in public international law and has particular research and teaching interests in international political and legal theory, UN law, the use of force, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and justice, and international dispute settlement. He is especially interested in how these legal frameworks apply to new and emerging technologies such as cyberspace, autonomous systems, and Artificial Intelligence.

Russell has published widely in the field of public international law.

His second monograph is entitled Cyber Espionage and International Law (Hart, 2018). In 2021, he co-authored a textbook (along with Nicholas Tsagourias) entitled Regulating the Use of Force in International Law: Stability and Change (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2021). He is also the co-editor (with Nicholas Tsagourias) of the Research Handbook on International Law and Cyberspace (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2nd Edition, 2021) and (with Asaf Lubin) The Rights to Privacy and Data Protection in Times of Armed Conflict (CCDCOE, 2022).
