Studierenden-Team der Rechtswissenschaften überzeugt bei der European Human Rights Moot Court Competition (EHRMCC)

Schweigen die Menschenrechte, wenn Lenkraketen einschlagen und ZivilistInnen töten? Weichen sie dem (Un-)Recht des Krieges, obwohl beide Konfliktparteien die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention ratifiziert haben? Und wie verhält sich das System der Menschenrechte zur Logik kriegerischer Handlungen und dem humanitären Völkerrecht?

Diese Rechtsfragen standen im Mittelpunkt des Moot Courts (Gerichtssimulation) European Human Rights Moot Court Competition (EHRMCC), an dem die Studierenden Johanna Binder, Nicole Freller, Idia Ohenhen und Johanna Tesar als Team der Universität Graz erfolgreich virtuell teilnahmen. Betreut wurden Nachwuchs-Juristinnen von Gerd Oberleitner und Gregor Fischer im Rahmen zweier Lehrveranstaltungen.

Von Oktober bis Dezember 2019 verfassten die Teams Schriftsätze, die von einer fachkundigen Jury bewertet wurden, um sich anschließend auf die mündlichen Vorrunden vorzubereiten, die gemeinsam mit der Qualität der „Written Submissions“ über den Einzug ins Finale entschieden.

Nach zwei intensiven Rhetoriktrainings und weiteren, wöchentlich zwei Mal stattfindenden Übungseinheiten überzeugten die Grazer Studierenden im Februar 2020 in der Vorrunde an der Universität Göttingen und zogen ins Finale ein. Aufgrund der COVID-19-Krise konnte die Endrunde nicht wie geplant im April in Straßburg stattfinden, die Studierenden mussten sich also auf ein Finale der besten 18 Teams via Videokonferenz einstellen, das von zweiten bis vierten Juni 2020 stattfand. Die Grazer Teilnehmerinnen beendeten ihren Erfolgslauf schlussendlich im Viertelfinale, womit sie zu den besten acht Teams der gesamten Competition gehörten.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
