As an independent organisation, ECCHR initiates, conducts and supports a large number of legal proceedings against state and non-state actors for international crimes together with lawyers and organisations worldwide. In the area of business and human rights, ECCHR uses a variety of legal means, including to take action against inhumane labour conditions and their consequences. Before founding ECCHR, the criminal law specialist had been working as a criminal defence lawyer at the law firm \u201eHummel.Kaleck.Rechtsanw\u00e4lte\u201c since 1991. Since 1998, he has also worked in the Coalition Against Impunity to ensure that those responsible for the murder and so-called disappearances of Germans during the Argentinian military dictatorship are brought to justice. Together with the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) in New York, Kaleck pursued criminal proceedings against the US torture programme from 2004 to 2008, including against former US Secretary of Defence Rumsfeld. As a lawyer, Kaleck has represented the whistleblower Edward Snowden in his matters in Germany since 2014 and coordinates Snowden's legal team in Europe. In addition to his work as a lawyer, Kaleck is also active as a publicist.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome:<br \/><strong>Mag.a Gertraud Auer Borea d'Olmo<\/strong>, Secretary General of the Bruno Kreisky Forum<br \/><strong>University Professor DDr Oliver Rathkolb<\/strong>, Member of the Board of the Bruno Kreisky Foundation for Services to Human Rights<\/p>\n<p>Laudatio:<br \/><strong>Kathrin R\u00f6ggla<\/strong>, writer<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verleihung des Bruno Kreisky Preises an:Rechtsanwalt Wolfgang Kaleckin besonderer Anerkennung seiner juristischen Arbeit im Rahmen des European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) Der Ehrenpreis der Bruno Kreisky Stiftung f&uuml;r Verdienste um die Menschenrechte wird an den Rechtsanwalt Wolfgang Kaleck in besonderer Anerkennung seiner juristischen Arbeit im Rahmen des European Center for Constitutional and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3814,"template":"","format":[29],"meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"schwerpunkt":[],"class_list":["post-3813","kreisky_event","type-kreisky_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","format-podiumsdiskussion"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
