On the one hand international law is based on the idea of individual rights. On the other hand the major goal of international law is to preserve peace by protecting the autonomy of individual sovereign states. Often the individual human rights are sacrificed to the collective rights for the state of non-intervention in internal affairs. Michael Dusche's paper critically discusses the problem of the priority of individual and collective rights and suggests a solution. The lecture is organised by The European Institute for International Affairs and is sponsored by the Heinrich Boell-Stiftung Baden- Wuerttemberg. Michael Dusche, born 1965 in Lower Saxony, Germany, is member of the Graduiertenkolleg at the Zentrum fuer Ethik in den Wissenschaften of the University Tuebingen. Inquiries Expressions of interest, questions and request for further information may be directed to Ulrich Arnswald (Ulrich.Arnswald-AT-urz.uni-heidelberg.de).
