What does it mean to be subjected to torture, and not least to survive torture?

We will try to learn more about this on Thursday, January 15, 2026. In collaboration with the IRCT (International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims), we are holding an event to shed light on the phenomenon of war at a deeper level than news headlines. Behind and in the midst of every war and conflict are people who make decisions and people who must live with the consequences of those decisions.

The event is our attempt to put a face to decision-makers and hand over – supplemented by experts in the field.

The hope is that we can become wiser about the political considerations surrounding war—but in particular, that we can become wiser about the reality in which so many of our fellow human beings live.

Because even though wars change form, the consequences remain the same; it is still real people who are left behind with the very real consequences of war on both body and soul.

In addition to presentations by torture survivors and experts, the evening will feature a conversation with former foreign ministers Mogens Lykketoft and Martin Lidegaard, Paula Larrins.

We'll provide the coffee!
