The 18th Nelson Mandela World Human Rights Moot Court Competition concluded in Geneva after bringing together some of the world’s most promising law students for a week of advocacy, debate and reflection on the future of international human rights law.

Survivor Movements for Justice is the fifth series in the Global Campus “To the Righthouse” podcast programme. It explores the process of empowerment that drives victim- and survivor-led movements for justice, focusing on individuals and organisations responding to various forms of human rights abuse, or injustice.

Conversations on youth leadership, movement building, and the importance of engaging people and institutions beyond traditional human rights networks were at the centre of this year’s Steering Group meeting of the Global Campus – Right Livelihood Child Rights Cooperation, held in Venice on 21–22 May 2026. The gathering brought together Steering Group members, colleagues, and young representatives from Nepal for two days of reflection, exchange, and collaborative discussion.
