Trafficking in human beings (THB) remains a serious human rights violation and a persistent challenge across the OSCE area and globally. Trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation and forced labour are among the most prevalent yet often under-identified forms of exploitation. The issue is therefore not only a criminal justice concern, but also a labour rights, governance, business conduct and sustainability challenge.

The Global Campus of Human Rights has published the Policy Briefs 2026
following the successful completion of the 7th edition of the Global Campus Policy
Observatory, which revolved around the research project on ‘Protecting, promoting and enjoying academic freedom: trends, challenges and impacts from a human rights-based approach’.

On 26 September 2026, the Global Campus celebrated the graduation of the 2025/2026 cohort of the Arab Master’s Programme in Democracy and Human Rights (ArMA) and inaugurated the academic year 2026/2027, at François Debbané Social Sciences Campus in Saint Joseph University of Beirut . The ceremony was presented by Sajida Mikati as Master of Ceremony.

We are excited to announce a new call for papers to the Global Campus Human Rights Journal (GCHRJ) Volume 10 Issue 1!

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live, learn, work and connect. But how can we ensure that its development and use remain grounded in human rights?

The 2026 Right Livelihood Award goes to women and women-led organisations confronting the world’s most entrenched power structures: authoritarian rule, patriarchal violence, and unchecked AI development. Their common thread is resistance to systems that push people to the margins, and a shared insistence on putting people back at the centre.

Volume 9, Issues 1-2, of the Global Campus Human Rights Journal is now online on the e-journal website!
