Human rights

(wlp)° - the world lecture project is an online library for video lectures in any language and of any faculty from all over the world. The project is collecting all links to video lectures and their meta data in one freely accessible database. A search engine helps the users to find the lecture of their choice easily. They can search lectures according to various criteria: theme, faculty, country, language and others. Everyone can contribute to broadening (wlp)°'s lecture fund. Once registered it is easy to put new lectures onto the data base or to complete the data of the lectures that are already available. (wlp)° is looking for partners across the globe who contribute in facilitating the exchange and the access of knowledge for everyone – everywhere. The World Academy of Young Scientists (WAYS) and Young-People Platform in Agricultural Research (YPARD) for Development are already collaborating with (wlp)°.

Arche noVa is an aid organisation that sets up humanitarian aid projects (Syrien, Irak, Libanon, Ukraine), development cooperation projects (Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippinen, Uganda, Äthiopien, Somalia, Mali, Kenia) as well as development education in the form of school projects on topics such as ‘water’, ‘world trade and globalisation’, ‘(international) conflicts’ and ‘humanitarian aid’.

The Human Rights Center (MRZ) mainly focuses on the collection, editing and archiving of legal materials in order to make them available to legal professionals. The MRZ is the first institution of its kind in the Federal Republic of Germany. It works in close cooperation with the European Council and the departments of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Justice that are responsible for human rights. It also collaborates with other institutions focusing on human rights in Germany and in other countries represented in the European Council.

Another major objective of the Center is to establish a specialized library for the use of Center's researchers and students from Berlin and Potsdam, as well as outside researchers and government representatives. In addition, the MRZ publishes scientific papers treating human rights issues from the perspectives of international law, European Community Law and national law.
