One of the most prominent and distinguished lawyers in Denmark is visiting the Department of Law at Aarhus University, Business and Social Sciences, in conjunction with the annual Max Sørensen lecture. Based on his background as Danish parliamentary ombudsman, Hans Gammeltoft-Hansen will talk about the extent to which international law plays a role in the ombudsman’s daily practice:
“Thanks to his extensive experience, Hans Gammeltoft-Hansen is in the best possible position to shed light on whether international regulations play a role in the central work of the Danish authorities. The knowledge and insight he possesses within this field is unique,” says Max Sørensen Professor, Jens Hartig Danielsen.

The significance of international law for the work of the ombudsman
