Der Deutsche Bundestag stellt fest: In Europa und in Deutschland besteht gerade im Bereich des Handwerks und des Mit- telstandes ein enormer Fachkräftemangel. Das Forschungsinstitut Prognos hat jüngst für das Jahr 2030 eine Fachkräftelücke von etwa 3 Millionen Personen, für 2040 von rund 3,3 Millionen errechnet (VbW-Studie „Arbeitslandschaft 2040“). Dieser Fach- kräftemangel hemmt das europäische sowie das deutsche Wirtschaftswachstum massiv und kann im globalen Wettbewerb einen entscheidenden Nachteil darstellen. Die Wirt- schaftsprüfungsgesellschaft PricewaterhouseCoopers berechnete einen jährlichen Um- satzverlust für den deutschen Mittelstand von ca. 65 Milliarden Euro durch den Fach- kräftemangel (pwc European Private Business Survey). Darüber hinaus ist in der Ent- wicklung der Berufsausbildung in den letzten Jahren ein Trend hin zur Akademisie- rung zu erkennen.

Collective Identity in Germany An Assessment of National Theories Sean Starkweather “Köln stellt sich quer - Tanz die AfD” by Elke Witzig is licensed under CC BY-SA-4.0 Beginning in the 18th century, the question of what makes a nation has occupied a prominent place in German politics. From the national theories of the 18th-century German Romantics, who identified cultural and ethnic factors as being the key determinants, to modern civic nationalists and postnationalists, who point to liberal civic values and institutions, the importance of collective identity and how it is oriented has remained an important topic for German scholars and policymakers. Using survey research, I assess the accuracy and relevance of these theories in contemporary German society. I find that, contrary to the optimism of modern thinkers, German collective identity remains aligned with the national theories of the Romantics, resulting in ethnic discrimination and heightened fears over the loss of culture through external ideological and ethnic sources.

  • The German Institute for Human Rights
    Nova Acta Leopoldina NF 113, Nr. 387, 19 –24 (2011) The German Institute for Human Rights Beate Rudolf (Berlin) 1. Introduction The German Institute for Human Rights (Deutsches Institut für Menschenrechte) is the in- dependent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) for Germany.1 It was established in March 2001 following a unanimous motion of the German federal parliament. In setting up a NHRI, Germany followed the example of many states, and heeded the recommendation made by the UN General Assembly in 1993.2 The German Institute for Human Rights is one of the few NHRIs that is organized as an institute, i.e. an institution with a focus on academic research. In its ten years of existence, the German Institute has acquired an excellent reputa- tion, both domestically and internationally. 2. National Human Rights Institutions The central purpose of National Human Rights Institutions is to help states comply with their obligations arising from international human rights law. NHRIs have been set up gradually in a number of countries since the early 1950s. The 1993 World Conference on Human Rights in Vienna brought new momentum to this development, emphasising the valuable contribution that NHRIs have made and can continue to make to promoting and protecting human rights on the national level. The UN General Assembly took up this idea; in its recommendation to the States, it incorporated the “Paris Principles”, a set of rules developed by academic experts that define NHRIs and the conditions for ensuring their independence.3 The Paris Principles provide that NHRIs must have a broad mandate to promote and pro- tect human rights.

  • Notitsen Aus Berlin Von Thomas Sattelberger Mdb (01/2018)
    Besuchen Sie hier die Webversion. #notiTSen aus Berlin von Thomas Sattelberger MdB (01/2018) Mein Wochenrückblick vom 12.01.-20.01.2018 Bevor die Woche losgeht, Neujahrsempfang des Bayerischen Ministerpräsidenten in der Residenz München am FREITAGabend. Steven und ich, mit großen Erwartungen im Smoking, erleben lustloses Zeremoniell. Landesvaterdämmerung? Horst Seehofer zu Beginn gewitzt, findet danach kein Ende. Wer tagelang neben Angela Merkel sitzt, erzählt er, habe am Ende nicht mehr die Kraft eines bayerischen Löwen. Das merkt man! Dieser Löwe ist müde. Ich fahre hingegen als frischer Löwe zur Fraktionsklausur SONNTAGnachmittag in den Bundestag. Bewertung des Sondierungsergebnisses der Möchtegern- Groko. Fazit: hätte schlimmer kommen können! Aber Trendwende? Nein! Ob SPD-Basis den Mut aufbringt, Nein zu sagen? Christian Lindner erwähnt Robert Habecks Aufsatz in der FAZ am Sonntag. Pflichtlektüre für alle Jamaika- Träumer! Was halte ich vom bisherigen Groko-Papier? Rentenkonsolidierung zu Lasten jüngerer Generationen: falsch. Kooperationsverbot fast unangetastet: wirkungslos. Reduzierung Soli: Farce und wohl verfassungswidrig. Glasfaserausbau: lückenhaft. Investivbudget für Eurozone: staatlicher Finanztransfer statt privatwirtschaftlicher Anreize! Für mindestens drei zentrale Themen unseres Wohlstands - Demografiepolitik, Digitalisierung, Einwanderung - bieten CDU, CSU und SPD keine zukunftsorientierte Lösung. Freue mich über FDP-Gesetzentwurf zum Familiennachzug. Gute Balance zwischen Menschlichkeit und Aufnahmefähigkeit. Macht deutlich:

  • Human Rights and History a Challenge for Education
    edited by Rainer Huhle HUMAN RIGHTS AND HISTORY A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION edited by Rainer Huhle H UMAN The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Genocide Convention of 1948 were promulgated as an unequivocal R response to the crimes committed under National Socialism. Human rights thus served as a universal response to concrete IGHTS historical experiences of injustice, which remains valid to the present day. As such, the Universal Declaration and the Genocide Convention serve as a key link between human rights education and historical learning. AND This volume elucidates the debates surrounding the historical development of human rights after 1945. The authors exam- H ine a number of specific human rights, including the prohibition of discrimination, freedom of opinion, the right to asylum ISTORY and the prohibition of slavery and forced labor, to consider how different historical experiences and legal traditions shaped their formulation. Through the examples of Latin America and the former Soviet Union, they explore the connections · A CHALLENGE FOR EDUCATION between human rights movements and human rights education. Finally, they address current challenges in human rights education to elucidate the role of historical experience in education.

  • High Court Judgment Template
    Appeal No: SC/116/2012 Hearing Date: 13 and 14 February 2014 Date of Judgment: 15 April 2014 SPECIAL IMMIGRATION APPEALS COMMISSION Before: THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE IRWIN “D2” APPELLANT and SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT RESPONDENT JUDGMENT ON PRELIMINARY ISSUE: DISCLOSURE For the Appellant: Mr H Southey QC and Mr Edward Grieves Instructed by: Wilson Solicitors LLP For the Respondent: Mr Tim Eicke QC and Mr Robert Wastell Instructed by: The Treasury Solicitor Mr Justice Irwin : 1. In this judgment I address a preliminary issue in the appeal, namely what is required as a minimum by way of disclosure in these proceedings. The Appellant seeks to establish, by one or both of two discrete legal routes, that there is an obligation imposed on the Respondent to disclose “an irreducible minimum” of the national security case against the Appellant. Mr Hugh Southey QC for the Appellant argues firstly that by reason of developing jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the decisions of the English Court of Appeal in IR(Sri Lanka) and others v SSHD [2012] 1 WLR 232 and R(BB) v SIAC and SSHD [2013] 1 WLR 1568 are wrongly decided. As a further argument, Mr Southey submits that the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union in ZZ(France) v SSHD [2013] 3 WLR 813 (Case C – 300/11) and the Court of Appeal in ZZ v SSHD [2014] EWCA Civ 7 have the effect of importing an obligation of an “irreducible minimum” of disclosure of the national security case, effectively the same as that which has been held to arise where the facts of a case engage the prohibition on arbitrary detention contrary to Article 5(4) of the ECHR, as decided by the Strasbourg Court in A v United Kingdom (2009) 49 EHRR 29 and confirmed by the House of Lords in AF(No.3) v SSHD [2010] 2 AC 269.

  • 9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs
    9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Gerd Müller, Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development cc: Helge Braun, Head of the Federal Chancellery and Federal Minister for Special Tasks Heiko Maas, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Olaf Scholz, Federal Minister of Finance Dear Ministers Altmaier, Heil and Müller, I write as the former UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights and author of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It is my understanding that the German Cabinet has approved a draft law on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains. It now goes to Parliament for its consideration. The law introduces human rights due diligence obligations initially for companies that employ at least 3,000 workers, and later for companies with at least 1,000 workers—which have their headquarters, principal place of business or registered office in Germany. It aims to improve human rights standards and practices in the operations and supply chains of those German companies. There are elements to welcome in the draft law. For example, companies are expected to examine how their own purchasing practices may help mitigate human rights and environmental risks. Moreover, the law recognizes the need for accountability measures to ensure that the due diligence obligation is meaningful. It focuses on permitting affected individuals to file a complaint with the regulatory oversight body, which has the power to determine if a company has breached its obligations and to issue fines if so.
