MPs

Marina Schuster has been a member of the Roth district council since 2002 . Between 2005 and 2013 she was a member of the German Bundestag . It always moved into the Bundestag via the Bavarian State List . Your constituency was Roth . In October 2012, Schuster was again nominated as the top candidate of the FDP Middle Franconia for the 2013 federal election, in which the party failed to make it into the Bundestag; a total of 42 of the delegates voted for Schuster, who also had to accept eight no votes and five abstentions.

In the 17th legislature Marina was Schuster spokeswoman for the FDP - Parliamentary Group for Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid . She had been a full member of the Foreign Affairs Committee since 2005 . Since 2009 she has been the chairperson of the Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid , as well as a deputy member of the Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development and is a member of the sub-committee “United Nations, international organizations and globalization”. In the German-Egyptian parliamentary group she was involved as deputy chairwoman.

Between February 2006 and September 2009, Schuster was also a member of the “Globalization and Foreign Trade” subcommittee and the spokesperson for the subcommittee for the FDP parliamentary group. Between 2005 and 2009 she was also a deputy member of the Committee on Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, the United Nations Subcommittee and the Interior Committee .

Her political work focuses on the enforcement of the human rights of persecuted minorities and the further development of international criminal law . She described the murder of Ugandan gay activist David Kato in January 2011 as a “result of the homophobic mood in Ugandan society.” Schuster traveled to Cambodia in February 2012 with members of the Bundestag Christoph Strässer (SPD) and Ute Granold (CDU) to inform about the work of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal , of which Germany is one of the main sponsors. Since then she has supported the fight against the use of landmines . With parliamentarians from all over the world, she has been campaigning for an agreement on an arms trade agreement as part of the Control Arms campaign since 2012 . Schuster also took part as an observer in the trial of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and, in view of the trial of Sergei Magnitsky, which was also criticized as unfair by human rights activists, “an entry ban [for those responsible] is a possible means of increasing pressure on the Russian side”.

As an Africa expert in the FDP parliamentary group, Schuster also accompanied Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and Federal Ministers Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD), Guido Westerwelle (FDP) and Dirk Niebel (FDP) on trips to the continent. She is considered a critic of Germany's Africa policy focused on development aid. In 2009 it supported the proposal to integrate the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) into the Federal Foreign Office in order to increase the efficiency of Germany's Africa policy . In view of the unrest in Kenya in 2007/2008 , in which several opposition politicians were murdered, she criticized Der Spiegel for showing that Steinmeier was showing a “defensive stance” that “relied solely on humanitarian aid” for Kenya. That is "completely incomprehensible". With a view to the situation in Somalia , she called for joint action by the European Union and the United States to establish functioning state structures; otherwise the country remains “the security risk in the region”. As part of the “Parliamentarians protect parliamentarians” initiative of the German Bundestag, Schuster tries to get the persecuted Zimbabwean human rights activists Jestina Mukoko , Jenni Williams and Farai Maguwu.

Member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe

As the successor to Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger , Schuster became a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in 2010 . There she is Deputy Chair of the Committee on Legal Issues and Human Rights and a member of the Committee on Compliance with the Commitments of the Member States of the Council of Europe. The regional focus of their work here is Russia and Turkey. Against the background of the “lack of the rule of law” in Russia, it is important “to pay particular attention to the deficits and to measure Russia against its own reform promises”. Should the investigation of crimes such as the murder of Sergei Magnitsky continue to fail, Schuster finds targeted travel sanctions against officials who can be proven to be responsible "quite helpful". In October 2012, in the Council of Europe, she criticized the prison sentence for members of the political punk band Pussy Riot as "completely inappropriate" and called for the singers to be released immediately. Schuster has been rapporteur for the abolition of the death penalty since 2013.

Schuster has been a board member of the German Society for the United Nations since 2010 . She is also a member of the board of directors of the German Africa Foundation , the German Foundation for Peace Research , the Board of Trustees of the Hirschfeld Eddy Foundation and the Advisory Board of the German Evaluation Institute for Development Cooperation.
