The cooperation between the Global Campus of Human Rights and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights was formally established through a Memorandum of Understanding, laying the foundation for strengthened collaboration in the field of human rights knowledge and education. Building on this framework, both institutions have begun to develop concrete joint initiatives aimed at enhancing access to research and fostering knowledge exchange.
A first outcome of this cooperation is the inclusion of the Global Campus Open Knowledge Repository’s accessible records in the OHCHR Library Catalogue, within the UN Human Rights Knowledge Gateway platform. This integration significantly increases the visibility and usability of the Repository, positioning it as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers worldwide.
In parallel, the collaboration was further highlighted on at the end of 2025, when Stefania Saccarola, together with Imke Steimann and Chiara Altafin, presented the GC Repository the OHCHR “Knowvember” programme. The online session, titled “A research ally: the Global Campus of Human Rights Knowledge Repository. Access. Search. Learn.”, engaged more than 40 participants and opened the door to future joint activities, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing human rights through knowledge.
