Before You Comment ...
I currently have a little issue with my commenting software. I will try to fix it as soon as possible. In the meantime, just click on the heading of the post that you would like to comment on. You will then get onto the individual post page and from there, the comment feature should work. Sorry for the overhead.
On the occasion of a ministerial meeting on integration, the German foreign minister, Franz-Walter Steinmeier, and his French colleague, Bernard Kouchner, visited Turkish-German artist Muhabbet. Together with Muhabbet, they recorded a song that emphasizes integration and tolerance in Germany. The German Foreign Ministry has more background information [text, in German]. The video, mp3 and text of the song are available on the websites of both the German Foreign Ministry and Plak Music (Muhabbet's private label). It is really worth to look into it!
Recently, I stumbled over a very helpful website I would like to share with everyone who reads this blog. The website is called GlobalLex and is published by NYU's Hauser Global Law School program. GlobalLex proves an extremely useful tool for conducting research on topics of international and comparative law. It consists of four parts: (1) International Law Research, (2) Comparative Law Research, (3) Foreign Law Research, and (4) Tools for Building Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Collections. It is a compilation of articles written by scholars from around the world. For me personally, the Foreign Law Research tool proves especially helpful; whenever I need a statute or case from some foreign country, I can go to GlobalLex-Foreign Law Research and click on the country I am interested in. There, I usually find a short introduction to the country's legal system as well as useful legal links. GlobalLex has helped me a lot in my comparative law research.
