The Bavarian Representation in Berlin welcomed the International Nuremberg Principles Academy for the screening of the documentary “Peace Through Justice - The Legacy Of Thomas Buergenthal” and a related panel discussion on international human rights on 24 September 2019.

The panel was composed of Dr. Julia Duchrow (Amnesty International Germany), Gabriela Heinrich (German Parliament), Dr. Ronen Steinke (Süddeutsche Zeitung), and Professor Andreas Zimmermann (Universität Potsdam). Deputy Director Dr. Viviane Dittrich moderated the discussion.

From the perspectives of law, politics and civil society, the speakers discussed current challenges for the application and protection of international human rights in light of contemporary crises and conflicts and the alarming contestation of multilateralism by certain states.
