Presentation as part of workshop on Climate Change & Displaced People run by Catherine Bolinga (Papua New Guinea) and Natalie Lowrey (Australia), Masters students from the MHRD Asia Pacific program. Between 9-13 May 2016 the fourth edition of the Global Classroom was held in Lido, Venice, Italy at the European Inter-University Centre of Human Rights and Democratisation (EIUC). This annual event is part of the activities carried out by the Global Campus partners in order to promote education and research on human rights and democracy worldwide and to provide a forum of discussion and additional tools of academic interaction. The Global Classroom theme for this year was Intractable human rights situations and failed international responses to crises. The 2016 Global Classroom gathered professors and students from the seven Regional Master’s programme of the Global Campus which take place in five continents. Also in attendance were international experts from the United Nations and civil society organisations. The international forum focused on presentations and discussions about complex human rights situations around the world that have arisen from persistent and unresolved conflicts, natural disasters, and the lack of regional or international collective responses to crises. Current and intractable crises around the globe, including different responses from international community to these highly complex human rights situations, were discussed from different angles and persepctives. These included the refugee crisis in Europe, the Mena region and the Asia Pacific, a comparative analysis of the socio-economic situation of Burundi and Rwanda and the human rights crises in Haiti.
