Protecting the Law
In February 2003, a group of students from nine schools in Heidelberg, Germany, started the initiative “DENK-mal-VÖLKERRECHT” (which has a double meaning in German: “Think! International Law” and “Monument for International Law”) in protest against military violence. So far they have found 16,913 supporters – each represented by a brick – and continue to build what they call a “protective wall for international law.” The wooden brick wall continues to grow. Ten of the students plan to travel to New York in late April 2004 to bring their monument to the United Nations and to participate in the Prepatory Committee Meeting of the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
