Zach graduated from Brandeis University (just outside of Boston, Massachusetts) with a B.A. & M.A. in International & Global Studies, where he focused on modern Italian political culture toward migration as well as on the viability of international criminal law in contemporary times. He also spent a semester at Leiden University’s School of Law in the Netherlands, where he became interested in the documents behind international organizations and interned at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
As a student in the Columbia-LSE M.A./M.Sc. Program in International History, Zach sought to pivot his focus toward the documentary history of international organizations (including the United Nations, NATO, and European Union). He is of firm belief that thoughtful and exhaustively researched documentary histories of modern international organizations are vital to understanding their current abilities and limitations.
Zach is currently a J.D. candidate at Boston College Law School in Newton Centre, Massachusetts.
