Syrian Refugees’ “Non-Return”: A Student-Led Report Sheds Light on a Human Crisis

Leave a Comment / GC News, In focus /

Amid rising discourse among decision-makers and actors globally about the imminent return of Syrian refugees following the regime change in Syria, little attention is given to the perceptions of those concerned themselves. What do Syrian refugees think, and how do they view return? Students from the 2025–2026 cohort of the Global Campus Arab Master in Democracy and Human Rights (ArMA) at Saint Joseph University of Beirut (USJ) in Lebanon asked this question and provided some answers through a new report entitled Understanding the Non-Return of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon, which challenges assumptions with data, empathy and rigorous fieldwork grounded in the voices of those most affected.

This question was at the centre of ‘Transforming Drug Policy: A Focus on Children and Youth’, a collaborative initiative led by the Global Commission on Drug Policy and involving Youth RISE and the Global Campus of Human Rights. The project sought to ensure that children and young people themselves could contribute to global discussions on drug policy and its impact on their lives.

The Courage to Be a Refugee Child Leader

Leave a Comment / Children's Rights, GC News /

In refugee camps on the edge of Cox’s Bazar (Bangladesh), where more than sixty per cent of the population are children and youth, school is not something children take for granted. For many, education is irregular, limited or simply out of reach. It was in this setting that children from the Global Campus Refugee Child Leadership Team in Bangladesh began asking not why they were excluded, but what they could do about it.
