Understand better with simple language.

Here, we explain our goals and objectives 

of the Stiftung Forum Recht.

We are the Stiftung Forum Recht.
We want to,
that people talk to one another:

-      On the Law

· On the Rule of Law

The rule of law means:
In this country, there are laws governing all important matters.
Citizens must obey the law.
And the government must abide by this.
In addition, female citizens have and civil rights.
For example, the right
to form their own opinion.

The Forum Recht Foundation has been in existence since 2019.
We are located in Karlsruhe and Leipzig.
And we have special offers in many other locations and online.

We want to talk about the law.
To that end, we invite experts from various fields.
For example, politicians and judges.

We also talk with our guests.
Join the discussion with us!
For example, we're interested in:

· Where do you encounter justice?

· Is the law always fair?

There are many important questions:

Who has the right to make decisions in a state governed by the rule of law?

What are fair punishments?

What does the rule of law mean?

What can the government do to earn the trust of its citizens?

Why should we talk about this?

The rule of law provides security and freedom.

So that we, as citizens, can live together in peace.

But our society is constantly evolving.

And so the questions surrounding the law continue to evolve as well.

Perhaps we don't even realize the importance of the rule of law.

Until one day the rule of law is threatened.

Then let's reflect on its value for our life together.

We want to talk to you about all these important issues!

There are many important questions:

· Who is allowed to, in a state governed by the rule of law

   Decide?

· What are fair punishments?

· What does the rule of law mean?

   so that the citizens

   Trust?

The rule of law provides

Security and freedom.

further and further.

toward the law, further and further.

The Importance of the Rule of Law.

the rule of law is in danger.

Then let's think about its value

for our life together.
