Leave a Comment / Alumni, Children's Rights, GC News, In focus /

Iris Knežević joined the European Regional Master’s Programme in Democracy and Human Rights in South East Europe (ERMA) carrying many questions about her future. Studying in Sarajevo became a turning point that reshaped her understanding of human rights and ultimately led her to co-develop the toolkit ‘Invisible Children: The Legal Status of Children Born of Wartime Sexual Violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia – Comparative Legal Analysis and Practical Recommendations’. Inspired by the experiences of activists and survivors from Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the project seeks to strengthen regional dialogue and advance the rights of children born of wartime sexual violence in Croatia.

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.

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.
