Global Campus Alumni Stories – Many Paths, One Commitment to Human Rights
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2026-03) Global Campus Alumni
This publication brings together personal reflections and professional journeys of graduates from the Global Campus of Human Rights eight regional master’s programmes. Through interviews and short profiles, it highlights how alumni apply their training in diverse fields including international organisations, civil society, academia and public institutions.
The stories illustrate the wide range of trajectories taken by GC graduates as they engage with issues such as democratic governance, refugee protection, civic education, environmental justice and access to justice. They also show how the interdisciplinary and international learning environment of the Global Campus continues to shape alumni’s approaches to human rights work long after graduation.
Rather than offering a comprehensive overview, the publication provides a glimpse into the diversity of experiences within a global network of more than 4,600 alumni. Together, these narratives demonstrate the lasting impact of human rights education and the ongoing contribution of Global Campus graduates to advancing dignity, equality and democratic values worldwide.

Self-determination without choice: how Western Sahara signals a quiet shift in international law
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2026-02-26) López Belloso, María
Western Sahara illustrates how international law’s self-determination norm is being hollowed out.
