GC Human Rights Preparedness Blog invites contributors to explain the ways in which protecting, respecting and fulfilling human rights is vital in meeting the challenges of pandemics and other emergencies, or to imagine how human rights could be better prepared for such challenges in view of where, how and why human rights have failed or done less well than anticipated.
About
In an ever-changing world, the ability to anticipate, respond to, and recover from human rights crises is crucial. To play a bold and reflective role in developing and promoting a rights-based approach to emergencies, the Global Campus is harnessing its multiregional and multidisciplinary approach, resources and outreach in order to offer a resource of enduring value, GC Human Rights Preparedness.
The title of our blog, Human Rights Preparedness, is a dual invitation: it invites contributors (i) to explain the ways in which protecting, respecting and fulfilling human rights, as we understand them today, is vital in meeting the challenges of emerging challenges—whether political, social, environmental, medical or humanitarian, or (ii) to imagine how human rights could be better prepared for such challenges.
We invite all members and friends of the Global Campus network —faculty, researchers, practitioners and experts, institutional partners, alumni and students— to contribute to this important new initiative.
