On Justice #1

Can a pluralistic society be defended by people once again relying more strongly on universal equality before the law? In the series “On Justice”, the HAU wants to address the law as a civil society instrument for progressive movements and struggles for justice.



What potential do legal means have to enforce the contents of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” and basic rights guaranteed by the constitution in the courtroom?


But when and how can the law also be used to introduce authoritarian restrictions through legal means?


What is the current situation with asylum law, international law or freedom of expression and assembly?


What would the law of the future look like in the context of climate catastrophe, sexual violence, escalating militarization and growing social divisions?


In order to examine these questions and topics, among others, the HAU will bring together lawyers or prosecutors with social theorists, journalists, artists and activists in the discussion series “On Justice” in cooperation with the “European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights” (ECCHR) to address both legal theoretical questions and concrete legal cases.


The first issue focuses on international law.
