In 2015, the 193 member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the UN Agenda 2030. The goal formulation of “justice” describes societies that are free from fear and violence and in which the needs of the weakest are met. In a keynote speech, Albert Denk (FU Berlin) reports on his research on the negotiations of the UN agenda. The aspects of gender inequality, educational imperialism and asymmetries of origin were already apparent in the cast of participants. Alternative forms of knowledge were excluded early in the negotiation process. By analyzing those involved in the negotiations, he was able to identify four fundamental contradictions that resulted in the status quo being maintained. Following the keynote speech, the research results will be discussed in a panel discussion with personalities from politics, academia, and civil society.
