Our Team

Our interdisciplinary team brings together researchers from the fields of law, political science, philosophy, anthropology, human geography, history, computer sciences, management studies, and education. Together with four participating institutions in Germany – the International Nuremberg Principles Academy, the German Institute for Human Rights, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology – and fifteen international partners, we will reimagine and strengthen human rights research at a critical time.”
