On 22 July 2024, Professor Dr Christoph Safferling, Director of the Nuremberg Academy, and Senior Officer Dr Gurgen Petrossian met with Dr Hans-Eckhard Sommer, President of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees, and Dr Axel Kreienbrink, Deputy Director of the Migration, Integration, and Asylum Research Centre. During the discussion, special attention was given to the historical significance of both institutions and the importance of close cooperation, given the many connections between refugee law and international criminal law. Particular emphasis was placed on the Nuremberg Academy's project on refugees as potential witnesses of international crimes. The parties agreed to pursue further collaboration in the near future (gp).
