Truth, justice, and reconciliation: as stated by GC Secretary General Manfred Nowak, these are the three essential components of a 'just transition.' This ambitious topic is the focus of the 2024 Global Campus Student Conference, happening right now! 💪 Fantastically hosted and co-organized by the OSCE Academy in Bishkek, the event has brought together over 30 students from the 8 GC Master’s programmes in the Kyrgyz capital. The students have engaged deeply with Prof. Saniia Toktogazieva, whose keynote speech focused on constitutional analysis, emphasising the critical role of state authority design and architecture in protecting constitutional and universal rights.   We look forward to continuing the conversation over the next three days with five student panels, learning from diverse case studies spanning from Chile to Lebanon, and from Mauritius to Bosnia and Herzegovina. These discussions will explore the transitions from dictatorships or authoritarian structures to democratic ones, examining what can facilitate such changes and what obstacles or challenges might hinder genuine transitions.   Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria Arab Master in Democracy and Human Rights Mahidol University European Regional MA Programme in Democracy and Human Rights in South East Europe (ERMA) Campus Global para América Latina y el Caribe Centre for European Studies (Yerevan State University) -  With Anja Mihr #transitology #constitution #democratisation #humanrights #humanrightseducation
