Kaleck is a Sorensen Center Visiting Scholar and the Founder, General Secretary, and Legal Director of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR). He is at the forefront of the legal fight to hold powerful individuals and entities accountable for human rights abuses. Kaleck is the European lawyer for whistleblower Edward Snowden. His new book The Concrete Utopia of Human Rights: A Look Back into the Future (currently available in German under the title Die konkrete Utopie der Menschenrechte. Ein Blick zurück in die Zukunft) discusses how, faced with climate crisis, a pandemic, and deeply unequal economic models, human rights activists and lawyers can no longer proceed with business-as-usual.
