Jahresbericht 2023
(2024)
Dieser Jahresbericht umfasst den Berichtszeitraum 2023, in dem Forschung und Lehre wieder in Präsenz stattfinden konnten. Begegnung und Austausch in Hörsaal und Seminarraum, auf Konferenzpaneln und während Kaffeepausen sind wieder möglich, aber die Möglichkeiten von Homeoffice und Onlinekommunikation bleiben weiter bestehen, wie die Erfahrung zeigt.
Das MenschenRechtsZentrum als interdisziplinär arbeitende, zentrale wissenschaftliche Einrichtung der Universität Potsdam hat es im Berichtszeitraum erneut unternommen, juristische, philosophische, geschichts- und kultur- sowie politikwissenschaftliche Perspektiven auf das Thema Menschenrechte in Forschung und Lehre miteinander zu verbinden.
Die Wissenschaftler*innen des MenschenRechtsZentrums lehren an den Fakultäten, denen sie angehören. Hier werden daher nur diejenigen Aktivitäten angeführt, die einen Bezug zur Arbeit des MenschenRechtsZentrums sowie zu menschenrechtlichen Fragestellungen haben; weitergehende Informationen finden sich auf den Homepages der jeweiligen Personen.
Back in 1949, and thus only one year after the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the four Geneva Conventions were adopted, providing a strong signal for a new world order created after 1945 with the United Nations at their centre and combining as their goals both the maintenance of peace and security and the protection of human rights, but also recognising, realistically, that succeeding generations had so far not yet been saved from the scourge of war. Hence, the continued need for rules governing, and limiting, the means and methods of warfare once an armed conflict has erupted. At the same time, the international community has unfortunately not been able so far to fully safeguard individual human rights, its efforts to that effect and the continuous development of international human rights law over the years notwithstanding.
Article 15ter Exercise of jurisdiction over the crime of aggression (Security Council referral)
(2022)
Article 15bis. Exercise of jurisdiction over the crime of aggression (State referral, proprio motu)
(2022)
As part of the current overall process of de-formalization in international law States increasingly chose informal, non-legally binding agreements or ‘Memoranda of Understanding’ (‘MOUs') to organize their international affairs. The increasing conclusion of such legally non-binding instruments in addition to their flexibility, however, also leads to uncertainties in international relations. Against this background, this article deals with possible indirect legal consequences produced by MOUs. It discusses the different legal mechanisms and avenues that may give rise to secondary legal effects of MOUs through a process of interaction with and interpretation in line with other (formal) sources of international law. The article further considers various strategies how to avoid such eventual possible unintended or unexpected indirect legal effects of MOUs when drafting such instruments and when dealing with them subsequent to their respective ‘adoption’.
