This general principle was adopted by the City Council as an answer to our city’s history, in particular during the time of National Socialism and as a future task for municipal politics.
The Human Rights Office now has the task of making this principle a dynamic reality. It has to develop concepts for municipal human rights activities, and to co-ordinate and implement them. This is about promoting human rights at an international and European level, but also protecting and strengthening those universal rights locally.
We do this in co-operation with a wide variety of partners and through many different networks.
And we would like to invite you to join us in fighting for the respect and promotion of human rights.
