Global Campus of Human Rights Magazine n 17 (January 2026)
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2026) Grimheden, Jonas; Anjinho, Teresa; Heerdt, Daniela; Battaglia, Guido; Giorgi, Davide; Bakari Muh'd, Umar; Tassinari, Matilde; Brunetta, Carlotta
Throughout this issue, voices from institutions and oversight bodies resonate with urgency, reflecting on the vital task of breathing life into human rights standards paradigms. Jonas Grimheden eloquently reminds us that these rights must be embedded in operating procedures, made tangible in the rich tapestry of real-world settings, especially in sensitive realms such as migration and border governance. Here, education emerges not as an abstract notion, but as a guiding light, equipping professionals to navigate ethical dilemmas and institutional pressures, all while keeping the sanctity of fundamental rights at the forefront. Deliberately, this edition broadens the canvas on which human rights are explored and advanced. Sport unfolds as a vital arena; as Daniela Heerdt poignantly expresses, human rights apply to every aspect of life, meaning that they also apply in the world of sport… athletes are human beings first and athletes second. Viewed through this lens, sport becomes both a stage of risk and a realm of potential, reflecting societal inequalities while simultaneously breaking barriers, fostering dignity, equality, and inclusion. All in line with everyday essentials UN campaigns for human rights promotion not only human rights day but beyond. The arts, culture, and visual expression further expand this horizon. Within the Global Campus experience, creative practices are increasingly embraced as essential threads in the fabric of human rights education and advocacy. Guido Battaglia beautifully captures this idea, noting that sport and by extension, cultural expression holds a unique ability to rise above geopolitical tensions, serving as a platform for peace, dialogue, and mutual understanding. In a divided world, shared experiences in sport, film, and art can illuminate paths for connection where politics often falters. A proof of this is the important milestone of our CHRA Summer School that celebrates its 20 years anniversary.
