- The International Criminal Court in The Hague.
From Nuremberg Trial to International Criminal Court
"(...) that the record on which we judge these defendants today is the record on which history will judge us tomorrow (...)", - these were the prophetic words spoken by American chief prosecutor, Robert Jackson, during the Nuremberg Trial in 1945. But more than half a century was to pass, until an International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against human rights was finally established in The Hague on 1 July, 2002, and it is the USA of all nations who have not joined the statutes for this court.
We establish the link from the Nuremberg "trial of the century" to today's International Criminal Court and discuss why this institution is necessary, what it can achieve and what it may not be expected to do.
Programme may be held in English.

- Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Against National Socialism: Human Rights
National Socialism shocked and horrified the world. The "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" of 1948 was intended as a worldwide answer. They established new moral, political and legal foundations for state actions which will be worked out by the groups in the Education Forum. The human rights conventions were the first international legislation in history to grant individuals recognized rights world-wide. Governments may no longer treat their citizens in any way they like. But as we know, this is not sufficient. So we will also have to explore the question whether and to what extent the hopes of those past days were fulfilled and what importance human rights have for politics today.
