"The change in migration and refugee policy which has since 2015 occurred as a reaction to the large influx, oscillates between shielding and opening. This article attempts to provide some common ground on what has become a highly polarized debate by offering information on migration in general, and Germany and Europe in particular. What are the latest developments, and how can they be evaluated? To gain a better understanding of the developments, facts, data and policies from the global, European and German context on resettlement, maritime migration and navy operations, as well as on border management and perceived terror risks are referred to. In addition, the introduction of new German laws and regulations are discussed, as well as and whether the latest influx of migrants and asylum seekers is a chance or rather an excessive burden for society.

"The international criminal justice system is an important element of world politics of today. Currently, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is investigating serious human rights violations committed in nine African states, and has launched preliminary investigations into acts committed in the conflict zones of Palestine and Ukraine.

The media, as well as academia, tend to focus on the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC (as was the case with the ICTY and ICTR).
