approx. 18:20: Access at the main station
with human rights against ecological crises
Jakob Nehls
Human rights principles do not change, but the conditions under which they apply do. Whether species extinction, environmental pollution or the climate crisis – the ecological crises of our time are all-encompassing. These crises do not occur in a vacuum, but affect people and their way of life. They reinforce existing inequalities and make deficiencies visible as if through a burning glass. Through the lens of human rights, these injustices become tangible. This lecture will discuss what human rights can achieve in the fight against ecological crises, what obstacles there are and what experiences we can learn from.
approx. 18:50: Access Doku-Zentrum
“m/f/d” -The law of self-determination in Germany
Dr. Ronja Heß
In November 2024, the Self-Determination Act will come into force in Germany. This is intended to enable transgender and intersex people to have their gender recognized by the state as part of a humane procedure. The lecture explains the human rights background of this legal reform but also takes a critical look at the remaining need for action.
approx. 19:25: Access Tiergarten
Human rights in the international fight against terrorism
Dr. Janina Heaphy
What role do human rights play in the international fight against terrorism and what exactly is international humanitarian law? Using examples from Guantánamo and ‘Obama’s drone war’, the lecture explains the challenges and possibilities of maintaining the balance between global security and the inalienable rights of the individual in international security crises.
approx. 19:50: Access at the main station
Finally, Prof. Dr. Eva Pils from the Chair of Human Rights Law will give an outlook on the challenges of current human rights.
