Biography

Robin Geiss serves as the Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and retains the role as Affiliate Professor at the School of Law, University of Glasgow. Robin Geiss joined the Law School in 2013. Previously, he was Professor of International and European Law at the University of Potsdam. Prior to that, he worked as Legal Adviser to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Geneva and as ICRC delegate to the United Nations Human Rights Council. At Glasgow, until his departure to UNIDIR in April 2021, he led the Research Group of International Law, Conflict and Security and was director of the Glasgow Center for International Law and Security (GCILS). He was the programme director of the Erasmus Mundus Master in International Law of Global Security, Peace and Development; director of the LL.M. Programme on 'International Law and Security' and the dual-degree Master Programme on 'The Law and Politics of Global Security' which he established jointly together with the Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals (IBEI).
 
Professor Geiss studied law in Bielefeld, Edinburgh, Kiel (Ph.D. 2003) and at the New York University (LL.M. 2004), and is a qualified German lawyer (First and Second State Exam). His areas of research include most major subjects of public international law, in particular collective security and the use of force, human rights, international humanitarian and international criminal law. A former scholar of the German National Merit Foundation, Robin Geiss is currently director of the “Security Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood”-project at the Collaborative Research Centre 700 in Berlin, principal investigator of the EU-sponsored research project "Transnational Security Law", and Rapporteur of the International Law Association’s (ILA) Study Group on the challenges to international humanitarian law in contemporary armed conflicts.

From 2012-2014, he was part of an EU-FP7 funded European research consortium that investigated the unintended consequences of international counter-narcotic measures. Professor Geiss has authored and edited a number of books among them “Failed States” (Duncker & Humblot 2005), “Piracy and Armed Robbery at Sea” (OUP 2011, with A. Petrig), "Humanizing the Laws of War - The Red Cross and the Development of International Humanitarian Law" (CUP 2017, with A. Zimmermann et al.), "Autonomous Weapons Systems - Law, Ethics, Policy" (CUP 2016, with N. Bhuta et al.). He is editor of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law and from 2011-2013 was a member of the international group of experts that, under the auspices of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn, authored the “Tallinn Manual” on international law applicable to cyber-warfare (CUP 2013). He has published in a wide range of scholarly journals and has taught at universities in Italy, France, China, and Germany.

In addition to his academic work, Professor Geiss has advised international organizations and states, inter alia, in proceedings before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and on matters pertaining to new (military) technologies and cyber security. His advisory work has included mandates from the United Nations, NATO, the German Federal Foreign Office, the World Health Organization, the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, the Military Academy of the German Armed Forces, the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn, the Centre for Economic and Social Rights in New York and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.

Research Project (TransSec) on ‘Transnational Security Law’

This project is funded by a Marie Curie FP7 Integration Grant within the 7th European Union Framework Program.

In the course of globalization organized crime has diversified, gone global and in some instances reached macro-economic proportions, undermining governance and development in conflict-ridden areas and threatening global security. As a result, in recent years various transnational organized crime phenomena have become recognized as newly emerging security threats that require international responses. Apart from large-scale counter-terrorism operations across the globe, current counter-drug operations in Afghanistan, EU Operation Atalanta and the fight against piracy in the Gulf of Aden as well as the confiscation of small arms in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by UN peacekeepers are all exemplary of this trend. In addition, cyber space has opened up an entirely new domain where criminal activity is on the increase and where law enforcement is facing new challenges. In 2012, the United Nations Security Council, for the first time in its history, qualified traditional organized crime phenomena such as piracy, drug- and weapons-trafficking as “serious threats to international peace and stability”, thereby paving the way for future transnational law enforcement operations on the basis of the UN-Charter. 

This has led to a growing number of transnational law enforcement operations and policing activities more general. Yet in spite of a rapidly growing corpus of international (state) practice, such forms of global policing remain poorly understood and insufficiently regulated; often to the detriment of affected communities and the long-term success of sustainable crime/threat reduction. Global policing and transnational law enforcement operations are in many ways still a novelty from the perspective of public international law.

Against this backdrop, the TransSec research project aims to assess how the international legal framework is adapting to a changing reality and to develop and sketch out the contours of the newly emerging discipline of ‘Transnational Security Law’, i.e. the principles and body of rules applicable to cross-border policing and transnational law enforcement operations.
