ÌÇÐÄVlog

Biography

Sebastian holds an LL.B and an LL.M in International Law from University College London (Distinction, 2021). Supervised by Dr Antonio Coco and Professor Noam Lubell, he conducts research on how the prohibition of intervention regulates information operations in cyberspace. His research, supported by a Chancellor's Scholarship of the ÌÇÐÄVlog, aims to highlight ambiguities in the way the prohibition currently captures harmful information operations, and to develop a framework for legally assessing such interference that better protects international law's basic commitments. To that end, it combines a doctrinal investigation into the prohibition's purpose within the wider international legal system with an analysis of recent state practice, and an exploration of state pronouncements on the nature of the Information Environment. During his studies at UCL, Sebastian was a Scholar of the 'Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes' (German Academic Scholarship Foundation), and participated in the award-winning UCL Public International Law Pro Bono Project. After completing his LL.M, he translated the biography of a former President of the European Parliament into English, and became Research Associate at the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation, a German political foundation.
