Prof. Dr. iur. Felix Uhlmann

In the autumn semester of 2025, we will be holding a one-off lecture in collaboration with the University of Geneva.

The lecture on the subject of looted art, entitled ‘An Introduction to the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art’, will be held in English and will deal with the legal, historical and ethical dimensions of the restitution of cultural property, with a particular focus on Switzerland. The course is given in collaboration with the University of Geneva. Two days of seminars will take place in Geneva (13-14.10.25) and two days in Geneva (11-12.12.25) and visits related to the course will be organised.

Further information can be found on the lecture website link.

This open access book presents the first comparative study on the legal sources of administrative law. Every modern legal order needs a set of general rules to apply and enforce administrative law; the rules impose principles of action, of procedure, and of organisation of the authorities. The legal basis of these rules may be quite diverse. Some countries have tried to codify administrative law, whilst others work with few rules or unwritten rules.
