The Graduate Programs in International Affairs and co-sponsor Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung New York Office presents: Double Standards in International Law with Wolfgang Kaleck
Wolfgang Kaleck co-founded the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights in 2007, serving as its general secretary. A criminal law attorney since 1991, Kaleck has fought for justice against impunity in Argentina, the US and Israel, and serves on several human rights
boards and juries, including in Mexico and Germany.
The event will focus on international law and double standards in relation to Russia, Syria, and Israel, but also on transnational corporations and their contribution to human rights abuses.
Introduction by Sean Jacobs, director GPIA and by Stefan Liebich, Director of Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung New York Office.
Chaired by Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Professor of International Affairs
This is part of GPIA's Decolonizing International Affairs event series
Presented by the Julien J. Studley Graduate Programs in International Affairs at the Schools of Public Engagement.
Wolfgang Kaleck founded the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights with other internationally renowned lawyers in Berlin in 2007. Kaleck has served as the organization’s general secretary since its foundation.
Kaleck previously worked as a criminal law attorney at the Hummel.Kaleck.Rechtsanwälte law firm, which he co-founded in 1991. Since 1998, he has been involved in the Koalition gegen Straflosigkeit (Coalition against Impunity), which fights to hold Argentinian military officials accountable for the murder and disappearance of German citizens during the Argentine dictatorship. Between 2004 and 2008, he worked with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights to pursue criminal proceedings against members of the US military, including former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
