Graduation and Opening Ceremony M.A. Human Rights

The MA Human Rights would like to extend a warm invitation to our annual opening and graduation ceremony. We are looking forward to celebrating with alumni, students and friends, and we are honored to welcome Ms Dunja Mijatović for a keynote talk on “The Future of Human Rights: Between Backsliding and Renewal”.

Dunja Mijatović is a human rights activist from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among others, she served as the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights from 2018 to 2024. She has focused her thematic work on a range of human rights issues, including freedom of expression, safety of journalists, the protection of human rights defenders, the rights of migrants and refugees, and combating discrimination and hate speech. She has also worked to address the challenges faced by women, children, and vulnerable groups, particularly those affected by conflict and displacement, and on the human rights consequences of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
