4 May Lecture: Freedom?
The 4 May 2010 is the Dutch Commemoration Day of WW II. Two events will be held in Felix Meritis to commemorate this day: the 4 May Lecture, followed by a very special performance.
Sixty-five years have passed since the end of WW II. We have already been living in freedom for 65 years, but how do we live with this freedom? What is the state of freedom nowadays?
Lawyer Joyce Hes will speak about the definition of personal freedom and the importance of the protection of classic basic rights for the maintaining of a democratic constitutional state. In her lecture she will motivate her involvement with her personal background as a representative of the post-WW II generation. She will link this personal motivation with the theoretical and juridical background.
Joyce Hes has published articles and books on themes such as discrimination, equal rights, and the constitutional state, or in a broader sense about (civil) society as a whole.
