Since 1970, the Catholic Academy in Bavaria has honoured personalities who have made outstanding contributions to the interpretation of time and the world in various areas of life in the spirit of Romano Guardini. It awards them the Romano Guardini Prize, which is endowed with \u20ac10,000 in prize money. This year's prizewinner realises this like few others: Prof Angelika Nu\u00dfberger was involved with constitutional theory and the rule of law in theory and practice from an early age.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, 10 December 2024, at 10:00 a.m., the Academy invites you to a very special event: We are awarding this year's Romano Guardini Prize to Prof Dr Angelika Nu\u00dfberger! The internationally renowned Cologne lawyer and former President of the European Court of Human Rights combines several topics in her work that are hard to beat in terms of topicality: Human rights, the rule of law, international law in Central and Eastern Europe and the Russian political system. The laudatory speech will be held by the former President of the Federal Constitutional Court, Prof Dr Andreas Vo\u00dfkuhle. As always, Cardinal Reinhard Marx will summarise the event with a closing speech. The musical programme deepens the thematic focus with some of Antonin Dvor\u00e1k's Slavonic Dances, performed by Anna Gourari and Anne Sch\u00e4tz.<\/p>\n
Prof Nu\u00dfberger worked for nine years as a judge at the European Court of Human Rights, of which she was Vice-President from 2017 to 2019, where she put into practice what she had previously studied in theory for ten years at the Chair of Constitutional Law, International Law and Comparative Law at the University of Cologne.<\/p>\n
She already dealt with early Soviet constitutional law in her doctoral thesis and wrote a book on the \"Putin system\" together with Margareta Mommsen in 2007. These topics are depressingly topical at a time characterised by international armed conflicts and national threats to democracy.
