As part of the Huqooq-e-Pakistan II project, the Global Campus of Human Rights continues to organise international mobility opportunities for Pakistani students pursuing human rights studies. Implemented in partnership with UNDP Pakistan and funded by the European Union, the initiative is open to students from the University of Baluchistan, Habib University in Karachi, the University of Peshawar and Lahore University of Management Sciences.

The Global Campus of Human Rights (GC), the Human Rights Centre of the National University of Timor-Leste (HRC-UNTL), and the Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) hosted by the University of New South Wales (Sydney) are pleased to continue their collaboration in advancing human rights education and capacity building. With renewed support from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAECI-DGMO), the three partners will join forces once again in 2026 to organize the Human Rights and People’s Diplomacy Training Program for Human Rights Defenders from the Asia-Pacific Region.
