    • 9/119/11 jährt sich zum 20. Mal. Welche Spuren hat dieses Ereignis in der globalen und nationalen Verfassungs- und Menschenrechtsarchitektur hinterlassen? Dieser Frage wollen wir in einer Folge von Online-Symposien nachgehen. Gefördert von der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung bringen wir Rechtswissenschaftler_innen aus verschiedenen Regionen und Rechtskulturen darüber ins Gespräch, was aus den Erfahrungen der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte in Hinblick auf Völkerrecht und internationale Menschenrechte, Asyl und Migration, Überwachung im öffentlichen und privaten Raum, Presse- und Informationsfreiheit, Menschenwürde sowie Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Justiz zu lernen ist.

Battling the hydra in EU anti-discrimination law

Can a company refuse to conclude or renew a contract with a self-employed person because he is gay? And may contractual freedom prevail over the prohibition of discrimination in such a situation? A short answer stemming from the recent ECJ judgment in J.K. v. TP would be a resounding no. Yet, a further analysis is in order because the judgment also brings a significant shift in the ECJ’s anti-discrimination case law. Continue reading >>

Fencing Off the Difference

Public statements of high-ranking politicians expressing hostility towards and disdain of sexual minorities have become common in the recent years in Poland. But the problem of “LGBT-Free Zones” has given the topic a new constitutional quality. Continue reading >>

Homophobia Disguised as Children’s Rights in Russia’s Constitutional Referendum

From the 25th of June to the 1st of July, Russia is holding a referendum, in which citizens are asked to vote on a package of amendments to the country’s constitution. The amended constitution could enable President Putin to remain in power until 2036. State officials reportedly played down the resetting of presidential term limits. Instead, they focused on other amendments, especially those concerning faith in god, the preeminence of the Russian language, and the definition of marriage exclusively as a union between a man and a woman.

The Hierarchy of Hate: Mixed Signals in the Combat against Hate Speech

There is a number of varying thresholds to free speech regulation set out by relevant legal tools which can do nothing but confuse countries. Moreover, anti-hate speech legislation developed on an international and European level is marred by what I refer to as the hierarchy of hate, namely the arbitrary focus on particular types of hate speech, such as racist speech, and the simultaneous disregard for other genres such as homophobic speech.

Same-sex marriage before the courts and before the people: the story of a tumultuous year for LGBT rights in Romania

This article will briefly recount a particularly agitated year for LGBT rights in Romania, marked by a highly contentious campaign to amend the constitutional definition of marriage through a referendum, as well as the first referral to the Court of Justice of the European Union by the Constitutional Court, in a freedom of movement case involving a married mixed nationality same-sex couple.

Marokko, Tunesien, Algerien: sicher nicht sicher

Mit ihrem Beschluss, Marokko, Algerien und Tunesien als „sichere Herkunftsländer“ im Sinne des Art. 16a Abs. 3 einzustufen, missachtet die Regierungskoalition die Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, die Asylverfahrensrichtlinie und ein entscheidendes Urteil des EuGH. Für verfolgte Homosexuelle aus den Maghrebstaaten wurde damit das individuelle Grundrecht auf Asyl in Deutschland praktisch abgeschafft. Continue reading >>

Warum das Grundgesetz die Rehabilitierung strafrechtlich verfolgter Homosexueller fordert und nicht verhindert

Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas hat angekündigt, nach der erst 1994 aufgehobenen Anti-Homosexuellen-Strafnorm § 175 StGB Verurteilte zu rehabilitieren. Das hatten zuvor Verfassungsrechtler für rechtswidrig gehalten: angeblich verstoße eine solche legislative Aufhebung von Urteilen der Justiz gegen die Prinzipien der Gewaltenteilung, der Rechtssicherheit und der Gleichheit. Halten diese Einwände näherer Betrachtung stand? Continue reading >>
