“We have to accept the possibility of failure, to address it productively, analyze it and adjust our strategy accordingly the threat of failure does not justify inaction. Especially when action can improve matters… I believe in this tangible utopia, this other aesthetic of resistance.”
― Wolfgang Kaleck, Law Versus Power: Our Global Fight for Human Rights

“The concept of impunity encompasses a complex societal situation that goes far beyond the mere absence of punishment. At this time, I take a critical view of German criminal law. I see it as a tool of dominion and control, albeit in a more subtle one than in Guatemala, a tool that distracts attention from the societal root causes of violence, punishes only certain social deviances, and is thus ill-suited to solving conflicts in society.”
― Wolfgang Kaleck, Law Versus Power: Our Global Fight for Human Rights
