About the Lecture 

Mass crimes rank among the most serious violations of international law. Although Germany has committed itself internationally to preventing and combating such crimes, the federal government often remains cautious, according to Prof. Dr. Bernhard Stahl. In his lecture, he analyzes this “loud silence” in light of current international conflicts and discusses the consequences of a foreign policy that largely refrains from assertive criticism. In doing so, he explores the question of what impact this stance has on the liberal international order.

The lecture is titled:
“Let It Happen”: Germany’s Silence on Mass Crimes

About the Siegen Forum

The multifaceted problems of our time make it impossible to conduct scientific research solely within the academic ivory tower. Although scientific research and enlightenment cannot conjure up magic solutions or concise instructions, they are nevertheless capable of shaping many insights and decisions across all areas of society through methodological training, critical questioning, and well-considered information. Acting in difficult times requires increased reflection. At FORUM SIEGEN, we therefore discuss problems and examine methods that are relevant to “practical application” in politics, business, and culture.

Please feel free to bring your friends to Forum Siegen. The events are free of charge, and registration is not required. We look forward to your participation and to lively discussions with you!
