Summary/Abstract: Twelve experts, proposed by the governments of France and Germany, called themselves Group 12. They probably had in mind the well-known groups 4 and 7 of professors-experts from German state-legal history who with their proposals, in critical periods of the countries in which they lived, helped to saving solutions are found. To understand the decision of six German and six French experts to call themselves Group 12, it presupposes some knowledge of the Berlin Group 4 and the famous Group 7 of professors from the University of Tübingen. Never in its history has the world been closer to total destruction. History bears witness to the rise and fall of great powers. But, none of those retreating forces were strong enough to protect their hegemony in the world and drag that same world with them. Therefore, today, it is extremely important that university professors fight for truth, freedom and justice. The obligation of University professors is to objectively examine the facts, investigate the causes and consequences of certain events, and draw conclusions from them, respecting the truth and only the truth as their highest principle.
