The German Bundestag notes: A strong European Union (EU) built on solidarity which protects its citizens and our livelihoods is the best investment we can make in our future. Our aim is an EU that also and especially proves its worth during these difficult times of the corona pandemic, that fosters democracy, prosperity, equality and health and that resolutely tackles the challenge of the century that is climate protection. We need an EU that bolsters international cooperation on the world stage and does not abandon the weakest on this earth. proofread This requires an EU capable of taking effective action both internally and externally, it requires greater solidarity on our continent and beyond - because no country can effectively combat the climate crisis on its own, no country can stamp out the pandemic on its own.

    Avoiding a Divorce: a Virtual EU Membership for Turkey Turkey’S Prospects of Becoming a Member of the European Union Are More Uncertain Than Ever

    Berlin, January 2013 INVITATION The Alfred von Oppenheim-Centre for European Policy Studies of the DGAP cordially invites you to a Brussels Briefing on Monday, February 11, 2013, 12:00 to 2:00 pm Avoiding a Divorce: A Virtual EU Membership for Turkey Turkey’s prospects of becoming a member of the European Union are more uncertain than ever. Having been forced to spend their residual political capital on combating the Eurozone crisis, European leaders have little enthusiasm for championing the unpopular EU-enlargement project. At the same time, the EU is no longer a central topic of discussion in Turkish policy cycles, nor is it at the top of the Turkish foreign policy agenda. This has proved detrimental to Ankara’s democratic progress – a situation that is unsatisfactory for Brussels, too. As it loses credibility in membership negotiations, the EU is losing the ability to engage Ankara constructively and Turkey’s interest in the Union is waning. In the context of the Brussels Briefings the cooling off of EU-Turkey relations as well as proposals for breaking this stalemate will be discussed and critically reflected. Can Ankara and Brussels develop a framework for reinvigorating the relationship, or is it time for the two to go their separate ways? How can the engagement on both sides be sustained despite the unlikelihood of reaching consensus about Turkish accession in the foreseeable future? In which areas can common interests be identified and cooperation deepened, outside of the blocked enlargement negotiations in order to inject new life into the membership process? And, finally, what kind of Union are we talking about anyway as a result of the crisis? Speakers: Sinan Ülgen Visiting Scholar, Carnegie Europe, Brussels Almut Möller Head of Programme, Alfred von Oppenheim-Centre for European Policy Studies, DGAP The Brussels Briefing will be moderated by Dr.

    What Does GERMANY Think About Europe?

    WHat doEs GERMaNY tHiNk aboUt europE? Edited by Ulrike Guérot and Jacqueline Hénard aboUt ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values-based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: •a pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over one hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • a physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Sofia. In the future ECFR plans to open offices in Warsaw and Brussels. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • a distinctive research and policy development process. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to advance its objectives through innovative projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR’s activities include primary research, publication of policy reports, private meetings and public debates, ‘friends of ECFR’ gatherings in EU capitals and outreach to strategic media outlets.

    Commentary by Miriam Saage-Maaβ Vice Legal Director & Coordinator of Business & Human Rights Program European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights July 2012

    How serious is the international community of states about human rights standards for business? commentary by Miriam Saage-Maaβ Vice Legal Director & coordinator of Business & Human Rights program European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights July 2012 Recent developments have shown one more time that the struggle for human rights is not only about the creation of international standards so that the rule of law may prevail. The struggle for human rights is also a struggle between different economic and political interests, and it is a question of power which interests prevail. 2011 was an important year for the development of standards in the field of business and human rights. In May 2011 the OECD member states approved a revised version of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, introducing a new human rights chapter. Only a month later the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) endorsed by consensus the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.1 These two international documents are both designed to provide a global standard for preventing and addressing the risk of business-related human rights violations. In particular, the UN Guiding Principles focus on the “State Duty to Protect” and the “Corporate Responsibility to Respect” in addition to the “Access to Remedy” principle. This principle seeks to ensure that when people are harmed by business activity, there is both adequate accountability and effective redress, both judicial and non-judicial. The Guiding Principles clearly call on states to ensure

Dem Botschafter der Volksrepublik China Herrn Shi Mingde Märkisches Ufer 54 10179 Berlin 23. November 2018 Ihre Stellungnahme vom 9. November/Offener Brief Sehr geehrter Herr Botschafter, mit Ihrem Schreiben vom 9. November dieses Jahres haben Sie sich an Bündnis 90/Die Grünen im Deutschen Bundestag mit der Aufforderung gewandt, unseren Antrag zur Situation der Menschen- rechte in der zur Volkrepublik China gehörenden Region Xinjiang in unserem Parlament nicht zu diskutieren. Die Souveränität von Staaten ist ein unantastbares Gut. Das Unterlassen äußerer Einmischung in innere Angelegenheiten anderer Staaten ist ein wichtiger Aspekt einer regelbasierten internatio- nalen Ordnung. Diese Ordnung basiert allerdings auf Regeln, die die Völkergemeinschaft mitei- nander verabredet hat. Dazu gehört unverrückbar u.a. die völkerrechtlich verbindliche Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte, die die Absichtserklärung beinhaltet, die darin enthal- tenen Menschenrechte in allen Staaten durchzusetzen und zu schützen. Daraus leitet sich für uns die Verpflichtung ab, auf mögliche systematische Menschenrechts-ver- letzungen hinzuweisen, so wie es im umgekehrten Falle Ihre Pflicht wäre, uns Deutsche auf mög- liche systematische Menschenrechtsverletzungen in unserem Land hinzuweisen. Es wäre aus unserer Sicht dann nicht hinnehmbar, wenn die deutsche Botschaft zu Peking dem Chinesischen Nationalen Volkskongress das Recht absprechen würde, dieses Thema zu diskutieren. Mit unserem Antrag sind wir unserer oben beschriebenen Pflicht nachgegangen. Wir erkennen an, welche Gefahren der dschihadistische Terrorismus und der Separatismus in dieser Region für die Souveränität und die Sicherheit der Menschen in der Volksrepublik China darstellen und wer- den diese auch weiterhin thematisieren und verurteilen.
