Der EuGH und der EGMR – Lösung in Sicht für den EMRK-Beitritt der EU?

Dieser Beitrag untersucht, warum der erste Entwurf zum EU-Beitritt zur EMRK 2014 spektakulär am EuGH scheiterte und wie der neue Entwurf von 2023 versucht, diese zentralen Hürden auszuräumen. Zugleich zeigt er, weshalb das ungelöste GASP-Problem weiterhin den entscheidenden Stolperstein bildet und nun ein erneutes Gutachtenverfahren vor dem EuGH angestoßen wurde.

Rethinking Corporate Social Responsibility in Times of Armed Conflict

This contribution introduces the emerging concept of “geopolitical responsibility,” arguing that companies can actively shape or intensify international conflicts through their economic activities.

Ist das Völkerrecht wirklich ohnmächtig?[1]

In Prof. Giegerichs neuem Beitrag, der auf seinen Vortrag im Rahmen der Veranstaltung „Die Ohnmacht des Völkerrechts – Die Rückkehr des Kriegs und der Menschheitsverbrechen“ in der Villa Lessing zurückgeht, widerspricht der Autor entschieden der Annahme, das Völkerrecht habe angesichts aktueller globaler Krisen seine Wirkungskraft verloren. Er zeigt, dass das Völkerrecht trotz struktureller Schwächen seit Jahrhunderten als Ordnungskraft besteht und sich in jeder großen Krise weiterentwickelt hat.

The Stateless Worker Problem: Linking Nationality Law Discrimination to EU Corporate Due Diligence

This contribution examines how gender-discriminatory nationality laws create stateless populations excluded from formal labor markets, revealing a major blind spot in corporate governance and due diligence frameworks. By linking this issue to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), it calls for expanding the directive’s scope to address nationality-based exclusion as a core human-rights risk.
