Andreas Paulus (born 1968) is one of the prominent intellectual voices in international law in his generation. International law is established among states and in international organizations. In his works, Paulus never loses sight of the individual and has thus contributed to humanizing international law. His publications often address topics of interdisciplinary relevance and are of great scientific significance.
Since 2006, Paulus has been a professor with special responsibility for international law at the University of G枚ttingen in Germany. From 2010 to 2022, he served as a judge in the German Federal Constitutional Court as one of the youngest judges ever appointed. He contributed significantly to some of the Court鈥檚 most groundbreaking decisions, including in a climate lawsuit and on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
At the University of 探花精选, in particular the PluriCourts Center of Excellence, Paulus has actively contributed to Norwegian legal research and research collaboration between Germany and Norway.
