Webinar: P. Dr. Déogratias Maruhukiro, ISch, PhD

Abstrakt:
Die Förderung von Frieden und Versöhnung erfordert sorgfältige, multidimensionale und multidisziplinäre Arbeit. Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen akademischen Institutionen und Nichtregierungsorganisationen in der Forschung und Friedensförderung scheint ein ungenutztes Feld zu sein, das, wenn sein Potenzial genutzt wird, zu guten Ergebnissen führen kann. Die Universität Freiburg (AB Caritaswissenschaft und Christliche Sozialarbeit) arbeitet seit einigen Jahren mit RAPRED-Girubuntu e.V. zusammen, und im Rahmen dieser Zusammenarbeit wurden bereits viele Projekte ins Leben gerufen. Nach einer kurzen Vorstellung von RAPRED-Girubuntu e.V. und des Instituts für Caritaswissenschaft werde ich versuchen, die Ziele der Caritaswissenschaft zu erläutern. Anschließend wird die verschiedenen Projekte von RAPRED-Girubuntu e.V. dargestellt. In dieser Darstellung wird deutlich gemacht, dass alle Projekte die durchgeführt werden, die gleiche Strategie, das gleiche Leitmotiv verfolgen nämlich: die Förderung von Frieden und Versöhnung aus der Perspektive der Caritaswissenschaft.

Statement on the Refusal to Appoint New Members to the Science Council

It was reported on October 1, 2020 that Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga did not appoint six scholars from among the one hundred and five nominated by the Science Council of Japan as candidates for Council Members of its 25th-26th terms. Even today, he upholds his decision to refuse to appoint these six scholars, claiming incomprehensibly that his decision was based on a "comprehensive, bird's-eye view perspective."

The Institute of Global Concern cannot accept such an infringement of academic freedom by the government.

Free, autonomous, self-governing academic communities serve as bulwarks that protect the freedom of thought of everyone in this society. The Institute of Global Concern aspires to protect human dignity on the basis of social justice and considers academic freedom to be an indispensable condition for us to be freed from fear and violence, and build a peaceful and fair society.

Based on Article 23 of the Japanese Constitution that guarantees academic freedom, the Science Council of Japan Law guarantees the independence of the Science Council in terms of its membership and the pursuit of its missions. It is, therefore, clear that the government's decision not to appoint the members nominated by the Science Council is against the law and the Constitution.

The Institute of Global Concern hereby issues this statement calling on Prime Minister Suga to swiftly revoke his decision to refuse to appoint the six scholars and to appoint all the candidates that the Science Council nominated on August 31, 2020.
