How US-Israel attack on Iran is impacting Africa
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2026-03-12) Mayamba, Johnson
The war between the United States, Israel and Iran may appear geographically distant from Africa. Yet its consequences are being felt across the continent. For millions of Africans from the Horn of Africa to Uganda, Sudan, the Gulf of Guinea and South Africa, among others, the conflict is not simply a geopolitical crisis.

Global Campus of Human Rights. Annual Report 2025
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2026) Global Campus of Human Rights
The Global Campus 2025 Annual Report: "Navigating the Future Through a Human Rights Lens" is an inspiring 64-page journey through transformative education amid a crumbling post-WWII rules-based order—where autocratic wars fueled by oligarchs and AI weaponry, denied planetary crises, shattering inequalities and crushed civic spaces demand urgent response.
This comprehensive edition chronicles the network's unshakable commitment across eight regional master's programmes – from Europe and South East Europe to Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Arab World, Caucasus, Central Asia and Latin America/Caribbean – highlighting over 2,500 training participants from 115 nationalities, innovative curricula tackling business and human rights, AI ethics, climate justice and child rights, and alumni leading change in policy, civil society and academia.
From GC Africa anti-corruption lectures to GC South East Europe 25th anniversary celebrations and GC Arab World resilience amid regional conflict, the report showcases how 100+ partner universities worldwide are equipping human rights defenders for today’s and tomorrow's challenges. Rich in testimonials, data visualisations and multi-regional research synergies, this document reveals education's power to bridge divides, empower exiled activists and build sustainable futures where dignity, democracy and justice face existential threats.
Key highlights include partnerships like the renewed MoU with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, collaboration with Right Livelihood Laureates, and landmark events such as the World Congress on Justice with Children in Madrid, the Global Classroom on Business & Human Rights in Bangkok and the Budapest Youth Forum on Human Rights Education.

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.
