Rafał Lemkin (1900-1959): A life-long story of engagement in the development of human rights law
(2023)
This blog post aims to provide a brief overview of the life and work of Rafał Lemkin by ex-ploring his participation in the interwar and post-war international dialogue. It demonstrates a variety of means, including academic activities (research, publications, conferences), as well as diplomacy and personal relationships, which Lemkin used to disseminate his ideas and research. Despite having limited resources and being a refugee for much of his life, Lemkin drew upon his linguistic abilities and showed himself to be an extraordinary “constant negotiator”. His varied work experience, gained in the early stages of his career in Lviv and Warsaw, likely aided him in developing an inclusive perspective on law and human rights that later informed his ground-breaking work on genocide.
Can parliament govern the transport transition? How the German Bundestag scrutinizes rail projects
(2022)
The paper aims to elucidate to what extent the German Parliament exerts control over rail planning. Parliament has the budgetary right, but information asymmetries vis-à-vis the railway company Deutsche Bahn and the Ministry of Transport make parliamentary control difficult.
Recently, Germany has instituted a parliamentary review process that allows the Parliament to take up concerns by the public affected by rail projects. We use the principal-agent theory to model this new institution. Parliament delegates rail planning to the Deutsche Bahn, while the Federal Railway Authority serves as a budget watchdog, and parliament uses input from public participation as a deck-stacking procedure. The paper first situates the institutional innovations—the new parliamentary oversight procedure—against the former logic of rail-way planning. Second, based on the documentation of parliamentary oversight, we analyze for which demands by the affected public the Parliament uses its power to change rail projects.
The paper showed that public participation matters. The German Parliament introduced expensive changes to rail projects. In particular, demands that had been voiced in well-institutionalized public participation (that is, when municipalities, regional associations, etc., were engaged in long-term institutionalized dialogues with the Deutsche Bahn) were more likely to be addressed. An Extra budget was then allocated to, for example, noise-regulating measures.
To sum up, the German Parliament uses information gained in public participation in com-bination with its budget rights to exert control over railway planning for conflictual projects. Thus, Parliament takes a more active role in railway planning. Whether this also leads to more acceptance for rail projects, is an open question.
The article presents the judgment of the Polish Constitutional Court of 10 March 2022
(K 7/21). In this judgment, the Court questioned the constitutionality of the art. 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, one of the fundamental norms of the European system of human rights protection. The article criticises this decision and shows its negative consequences for the individual right to a fair trial.
Whether sovereign rights under the Convention on the Continental Shelf and the Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone were conferred on the nation state or the nation’s constituent states.
Whether the states of a federation had international personality, or only the federation itself.
Whether a person who worked as an ‘expert on mission’ for the United Nations outside his home state was acting as an ‘official’ for the United Nations within the meaning of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations and was, therefore, exempt from taxation by his home state.
Auf dem Weg zum Kunden: Die Deutsche Rentenversicherung vereinfacht ihre Bescheide und Formulare

Die Bescheide der Deutschen Rentenversicherung verändern ihr Gesicht. Damit Versicherte und Rentner die Entscheidungen der Rentenversicherung besser nachvollziehen können, werden sie verständlicher, übersichtlicher und persönlicher. Der Beitrag, ursprünglich eine Poster-Präsentation, beschreibt die Reise eines interdisziplinären Teams der Deutschen Rentenversicherung und die wichtigsten Meilensteine des Weges.
Wie kann zukünftig sichergestellt werden, dass Gesetze mit einem digitalen bzw. (teil)automatisierten Verwaltungsvollzugsprozess kompatibel sind? Hierfür muss der Hebel bereits bei der Entwurfsphase von Gesetzen und Verordnungen angesetzt werden. So lautete eine Kernaussage unseres Impulspapiers »Recht Digital«, in dem wir einige der Voraussetzungen dargestellt haben, die für automationstaugliche Rechtsnormen berücksichtigt werden sollten.
