The critical role of international election observers in Kyrgyzstan

International election observers have significantly contributed to Kyrgyzstan’s democratisation and transitional justice in the aftermath of the 2005 and 2010 political upheavals. It is worth reflecting on election observation as not merely a technical exercise but also a deeply human rights-oriented endeavour.

Fourteen Issue of the Global Campus of Human Rights Magazine

Following the success of many important activities of our network, the Global Campus of Human Rights published the 14th edition of its seasonal Magazine in English and Italian.   This promotional publication is structured in the following sections: Interviews by the Press Office and Contributions; News and Events of the Global Campus of Human Rights at local and international level. Promotion campaigns to raise awareness of our impact and attract more supporters.   “The core of the 14th edition of the Global Campus Magazine are highly impressive students’ “Capstone Projects”. These are examples of powerful storytelling about specific issues of human rights and social justice, inspired by Albie Sachs, Andrew Leon Hanna and other well-known teachers in our new online course called “Authoring Justice”. By touching the hearts and minds of readers, these narrative nonfiction works aim at affecting change around a world in which democracy, human rights, social justice, international peace and international law are rapidly backsliding. The wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Lebanon are the most obvious examples that have a devastating impact on our educational activities. When we planned to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Arab Master in Democracy and Human Rights during our graduation ceremony in Beirut on 27 September, heavy shelling of Beirut prevented both events, and we are currently busy to find safe places for our students and graduates of the Arab Master at universities in Europe, Africa and Asia. In this context, I wish to draw our readers’ attention to the powerful message of the Academic Coordinator of the Arab Master, Jihad Nammour, which was part of our press release and is reproduced.” Global Campus Secretary General Manfred Nowak   For more information contact our Press and Communications PR Offices: Elisa Aquino – Isotta Esposito – Francesca Sante   pressoffice@gchumanrights.org  -  communications@gchumanrights.org  Read the Magazines in our Open Knowledge Repository: http://dx.doi.org/10.25330/2777   Stay tuned for the 15th issue of the Magazine coming up in March in English and Italian. #GCHumanRights #GCHumanRightsPress #GCHumanRightsMagazine

Becoming a mother in the Balkans: How happiest day can turn into worst nightmare

Balkans medical professionals routinely subject women to unnecessary violence and humiliation whilst they are in labour, resulting in lasting injury, trauma, miscarriages and deaths of newborn infants. States must ensure women can give birth safely in a supportive atmosphere.
