taz Talk meets Jüdisches Museum Berlin: Menschenrecht im Mittelmeer

In the organizer's words:

As part of the Digital Lecture Series, international law expert Itamar Mann and journalist Dinah Riese will discuss the legal, political and ethical issues that are still associated with this migration movement today. In a historical perspective on Jewish migration to Palestine, Vietnamese boat people and Syrian refugees since 2015, he develops the utopian approach of a "right of encounter" with Hannah Arendt and Emanuel Levinas.
