What is the current global human rights situation? Where are the particular challenges? What means and instruments can be used to monitor compliance with human rights and punish violations? Are there limits to the authority of the UN High Commissioner, particularly when dealing with authoritarian or right-wing populist regimes?

These and other important questions will be discussed by Michael Lysander Fremuth, scientific director of our institute and Professor of Fundamental and Human Rights at the University of Vienna, on Monday, 26 May 2025, in the Korneuburg Parish with Volker Türk, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN).
