    As President of the ISHR I have been invited to testify on November 28, 2018 in the Human Rights Council of the German Federal Parliament („Deutscher Bundestag“) on „Threatened People“ on November 28, 2018. Having studied ethnology/cultural anthropology among other subjects, this is a topic that has accompanied me all my life.
