(No) legal differences
Claus Heinrich discusses with Constanze Janda, Winfried Kluth and Susanne Schröter
In German language

"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." So says the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But does this claim also apply to everyone? And everywhere? Does the passport or the right origin determine whether a person is seen as a human being and treated accordingly? Or will there be first and second class people in the future when it comes to housing, jobs and medical care? Human rights are protected by international law. But what do such guarantees mean in times of increasing re-nationalization and ethnicization? Constanze Janda is Professor of Civil Law, German and European Social Law at the University of Administrative Sciences in Speyer and a specialist in legal inequalities. Winfried Kluth is Professor of Public Law at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and has also been Chairman of the Expert Council on Integration and Migration since January 2025. Susanne Schröter is Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Ethnology, Director of the Frankfurt Research Center for Global Islam and author of the book "Global gescheitert? Der Westen zwischen Anmaßung und Selbsthass". Claus Heinrich is an editor, presenter and author at SWR KULTUR. This content has been machine translated.
