On 18 August 2021, six representatives of the coordination group of the HUMAN RIGHTS FORUM met with Foreign Minister Heiko Maas at the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin to discuss issues of asylum and migration, especially the current crisis in Afghanistan. Topics of the discussion were a European and German asylum and migration policy that complies with human rights, as well as autonomous weapon systems and dealing with artificial intelligence applications.
