This has contributed to further distancing between Lebanese state institutions and refugees. This was intensified by the unclear, supposedly mediating, role of international organizations, as well as the...

Freedom is not self-evident. Not even in the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands has a long tradition in freedom and secularism, there was a need to found a secular Humanist organization.

Seventy years later the Netherlands is one of the most secularized countries in the world. What does this do to society? Can humanism be the moral standard for a secular society worldwide? In this lecture I want to share...
