An evening for international law, for arguments, and for the power of words
With The Strength of Law vs. The Law of the Stronger, Wolfgang Kaleck brings to the forefront a topic that could not be more pressing: the defense of human rights and international law in a time of geopolitical upheavals. The event combines reading, political classification, and discussion into an author encounter with literary and social explosive power.
When literature becomes public thinking
Kaleck's polemic reads as a precisely argued contribution to the cultural discourse on war, the rule of law, and the limits of power. The book raises the question of whether international law can withstand current conflicts or must yield to the law of the stronger. This is where the literary and political tension of this evening lies: artful language meets analysis, stance meets judgment.
A plea with contemporary pressure
The author, one of the most prominent human rights lawyers in Europe and co-founder of the ECCHR, combines legal expertise with journalistic clarity. The event thus promises not only a reading but an intellectual forum where the big lines of the present are negotiated. Those who appreciate political literature, current debates, and pointed argumentation will find here an equally clever and stirring literary experience.
Location, atmosphere, and framework
The event takes place at the Brandenburg State Center for Political Education in House 17 at Heinrich-Mann-Allee 107 in Potsdam. The location is centrally located near the main train station and is said to be accessible according to the organizer. This creates an objective, focused reading atmosphere that is appropriate to the topic: calm, discursive, and close to political reality.
What visitors can expect
The event is free of charge and accessible without registration. The focus is on book presentation, contextualization, and conversation about international law, human rights, and international responsibility. Anyone interested in political literature, legal culture, and contemporary analysis should experience this evening live.
