Living Humanity | bpb.de

The congress “Living Humanity” explores pressing questions: Which global institutions are responsible for this? How does jurisdiction against war criminals work today? What is the connection between the wars of the 20th century and the conflicts of the present? What global power relations can be discerned from the current situation and to what extent do these stand in the way of fundamental solutions?

Before these questions can be answered, it is necessary to update the concepts of justice, jurisdiction, human rights, responsibility, and solidarity. Renowned experts, human rights activists, lawyers, thinkers, and journalists will come together for two days in Nuremberg to discuss and search for answers.

Focusing on the Russian war against Ukraine, we will talk about the resistance to the unchained violence, which is an instrument of power and an alarm signal for humanity. The title of the congress “Living Humanity” refers to Hannah Arendt's idea of essential thinking in “dark times” and the possibilities of effectively enforcing and defending the universalism of human rights today.

With Raji Abdul Salam, Sonja Biserko, Omri Boehm, Patrick Desbois, Andreas Føllesdal, Wolfgang Kaleck, Carmit Klar-Chalamish, Tanya Mazur, Christoph Möllers, Angelika Nußberger, Oksana Pokalchuk, Maksym Rokmaniko, Vesna Teršelič, Andrej Umansky and others.
