Sixty scholars from 16 countries gathered today in Berlin at a conference titled, “The Protection of New and Emerging Rights: Views from China and Europe.” One of the featured speakers was Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, whose comments were prominently covered in China’s Global Times.
Global Times paraphrased Mrs. LaRouche: “It is probably impossible to speak about human rights without addressing the immediate danger to the very existence of the entire human species—war in Ukraine and war in the Middle East, which risk escalating into a global nuclear war. The highest priority for all people must be to rise above geopolitics, and the notion that nations or groups can impose their interests on others by any means is fundamentally flawed.”
