The (un)happy moralist? Different methods of moral engagement have opposing implications for wellbeing. Taher, T., Goutallier, C., Kirkland, K. et al., Journal of Happiness Studies 26, 85 (2025)

For centuries, the relationship between morality and well-being has been a focal point of philosophical debate. Recent empirical research has produced mixed results, showing both positive and negative associations between moral engagement and well-being. Our exploratory research examines two forms of moral engagement—moral identity and moral attentiveness—and their potential implications for well-being. In Study 1 (N = 149), we found that a stronger moral identity was generally associated with higher well-being, whereas greater moral attentiveness showed mixed associations, including links to increased rumination and some indicators of poorer well-being. Mediation analyses suggested that moral identity may contribute to well-being through strengthened social connectedness, while moral attentiveness may be associated with reduced well-being through rumination. In Study 2 (N = 118), a 14-day daily-diary study, moral attentiveness was associated with increased rumination at the within-person level, and some indicators of well-being showed small day-to-day fluctuations in relation to moral identity and moral attentiveness. These findings provide preliminary insights into how different forms of moral engagement may relate to well-being, emphasizing the complexity of these relationships and the importance of future research to further explore these dynamics.

Practical end-of-life recommendations for primary care to support dying with dignity. Christos Lionis et.al. Academia Mental Health and Well-Being 2025;2.

Dying with dignity is a multifaceted concept that varies significantly across different cultural, legal, and healthcare settings. Understanding and respecting this existing diversity is crucial for providing equitable and compassionate end-of-life care and the role of primary care in supporting dying patients and their families is central. Addressing the implications of these variations requires a concerted effort from policymakers, healthcare providers, and society to ensure that every individual can experience a dignified death according to their values and wishes. This brief communication attempts to compile a set of practical recommendations for primary care practitioners to assist them with providing high-quality end-of-life care that fosters a sense of peace for dying patients and their families while ensuring respect for the patient’s autonomy, comfort, and privacy.

 Human Rights in Sociopsychological Perspective. Ardila‑Sánchez, J.G., López‑López, W.Psychol Rec 75, 5–15 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1007/s40732-025-00631-6

A recent theoretical article that considers human rights through sociopsychological lens, exploring inter-individual relations, institutional practices, equality, and humanity. It argues for the relevance of psychological research to understand how human-rights norms become real in interpersonal and institutional contexts. 

Launch of ECHR AGORA. Building a New AGORA: A Pan-European Platform for Evidence-Based Human Rights Debate. Andrew Forde, Dublin City University.

In ancient Greece, an agora was a place where democracy was practiced, laws were debated, and citizens could speak freely about issues affecting them. In the haze of social media, the noise of political sound bites and the speed of modern news cycles, it sometimes feels like we are losing the space for rational, honest and evidence-based discussion on important issues affecting our lives, such as our human rights. Or perhaps we’re losing perspective as to why rights even matter in our advanced economies and mature democracies?   Everyone interested in a fit-for-purpose European human rights system is most welcome to join.

Academic Freedom / Higher Education

Free to Think 2025: Scholars at Risk’s annual report documenting attacks on higher education worldwide.
In recent years, state leaders have mounted escalating and increasingly aggressive attacks on scholars, students, and universities. These assaults on higher education are not isolated to places where the rule of law is weak and dissent openly punished, and they are not just taking place through extreme means of repression such as targeted killings, disappearances, arrests, and prosecutions. These are occurring, yes. However, attacks on higher education have always gone beyond these contexts and measures. Even in societies that have long had strong and stable democratic institutions, elected officials with autocratic impulses are using both the levers of democracy and extralegal administrative measures to undermine democratic institutions, including universities.

Academic freedom: how to defend ‘the very condition of a living democracy’ in France and worldwide. Stéphanie Balme, Director, CERI, Sciences Po, THE CONVERSATION, October 17, 2025.
Director of the CERI at SciencesPo, Stéphanie Balme conducted a study for France Universités, an organisation whose members are presidents of universities, titled “Defending and promoting academic freedom. A global issue, an urgent matter for France and Europe. Findings and proposals for action.” She shares some of her insights here. “Defending academic freedom is not a corporatist reflex: on the contrary, it means protecting a precious common good,” according to Stéphanie Balme, who directs the Center for International Studies (CERI) at SciencesPo in Paris.

Unofficially unveiled on October 2, 2025, US President Donald Trump’s Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education is a striking illustration of the politicisation of knowledge and the desire for ideological control over scientific output in the United States. Behind the rhetoric of “restoring excellence” lies a new stage in the institutionalisation of “sciento-populism”: mistrust of science is being strategically exploited to flatter populist sentiments and turn academics into scapegoats, held responsible for the “decline” of US civilisational hegemony.

International Science Council Statement on research funding transparency. Paris, France, 27 October 2025

Populism, technocracy, and affective polarization: Evaluating antipluralist dynamics. Koiranen & Saarinen, Acta Sociologica, 2025.

Recent academic research on the intersection of populist attitudes and support for expertise in political decision-making reveals a surprising trend: Despite the traditional view that populism is inherently hostile to expert knowledge, supporters of populist parties in European multiparty systems often endorse expert-led governance (Bertsou and Caramani, 2022; Fernández-Vázquez et al., 2023). This rhetoric underscores the evolving nature of the right-wing populist movements’ ideology and of their engagement with established knowledge-based institutions. European right-wing populists as emerging political challengers have pledged to reorganize the democratic system by challenging entrenched actors, rules and practices that are alleged to contribute to the erosion of political integrity. Simultaneously, they base their rhetoric claiming their dependence on scientific knowledge, facts and expertise in the decision-making. (Scanni, 2023; also Saresma and Palonen, 2022; Ylä-Anttila, 2017, 2018) This convergence is particularly striking given that populism has long been seen as fundamentally opposed to the technocratic politics that rely on specialized expert knowledge.

Children/Youth

Care workers’ experiences of regulatory challenges in children’s residential homes in Finland. Jenni Repo, International Journal of Care and Caring, vol XX, 2025.
Regulatory expansion in children’s residential care has emerged as a response to identified malpractices and aims to strengthen children’s rights. This article investigates how care workers experience and respond to regulatory challenges in implementing legislation designed to address these issues in Finland. The findings highlight tensions between ‘law on the books’ and ‘law in action’, revealing a perceived disconnect between legislative ideals and everyday realities. Contributing to broader discussions on rights-based care, the article emphasises the relational, interpretive and context-sensitive nature of applying legal frameworks in practice.
The child rights protective approach and increase in child welfare regulations
According to an international typology of child protection systems by Berrick et al (2023), certain (specifically Nordic) states characterised as having a child-focused approach have shifted to a more child rights protective approach.

Neurotechnology and Children’s Rights. Preparing for the future. UNICEF INNOCENTI – GLOBAL OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND FORESIGHT, Ministry of foreign affairs of Finland, July 2025.
As neurotechnology becomes increasingly prevalent in everyday life, it raises urgent questions about the implications for children’s rights. From brain-computer interfaces to cognitive enhancement tools, neurotechnology is poised to impact how children learn, interact, and develop – yet these innovations also introduce serious ethical, legal, and safety concerns.
This report by UNICEF Innocenti explores the emerging intersection of neurotechnology and children’s rights, offering a foresight-driven examination of both the risks and opportunities ahead. It identifies critical challenges, including threats to privacy and autonomy, potential bias and discrimination, and the widening of digital and neurological divides. At the same time, it highlights how well-governed neurotechnologies could support children, especially ones with disabilities, enhance learning, and promote mental well-being.
The report calls for a proactive and rights-based approach to neurotechnology development. Key recommendations include embedding children’s rights into regulatory frameworks, supporting child-centered research and innovation, and ensuring inclusive global dialogue that involves children themselves.

Climate Justice

Exodus on the Horizon: Tuvalu’s Mass Climate Visa Applications Signal a New Era in Human Rights and Climate Migration. Dan-Ziebarth, Human Rights Here, 17 November 2025
On 30 June 2025, the world witnessed a turning point in the conversation around climate migration and human rights. More than 3,000 of Tuvalu’s citizens, out of a total population of just over 10,600, applied for Australia’s new climate visa. This scheme was designed to provide sanctuary from the existential threat of rising seas. This unprecedented demand comes as Tuvalu, a scattered necklace of low-lying Pacific atolls, faces predictions that it could become uninhabitable within the next 80 years. As the ballot for these so-called climate visas closed, the world was left to grapple with the far-reaching implications for international law, policy, and the concept of home and human rights in the face of climate catastrophe. Legal and political considerations linking human rights aspects to climate-induced migration have been slowing building in recent years. For example, the agreement can be viewed in light of the outcomes of Teitiota v. New Zealand and Billy v. Australia before the UN Human Rights Committee (UNHRC), which illuminate the evolving legal landscape that the Australian climate visa scheme now seeks to navigate.

Crimes against humanity

Rights groups warn against UK plans to weaken torture protections in ECHR.Ministers face pushback over potential changes to asylum seekers’ rights before Council of Europe meeting. Peter Walker,The Guardian, 8 December 2025.
Human rights groups have warned UK ministers against weakening protections against torture or other mistreatment for asylum seekers before a crucial European summit this week on how to respond to migration.
David Lammy, the justice secretary, is expected to help lead arguments at the Council of Europe meeting on Wednesday on how the European convention on human rights (ECHR) could be reinterpreted to limit the scope of rights under article 3, which prohibits torture and “inhuman or degrading treatment”.
The UK is also among countries who wish to push for similar changes of approach towards article 8 of the convention, related to the right to a family life.

As part of a significant toughening up of UK asylum policy announced last month, the Home Office said the balance between the rights of migrants under article 8 and the public interest of removing people from the country needed to be “fundamentally reset”.

Decolonization / Indigenization

UN report sounds alarm over Māori rights in New Zealand. Eva Corlett, The Guardian, December 8, 2025. UN committee raised concerns over government policies including scrapping the Māori Health Authority and funding cuts for Indigenous services.
A United Nations committee has warned New Zealand is at serious risk of weakening Māori rights and entrenching disparities for the Indigenous population, in its most critical review of the country’s record on racial discrimination.
Last month, the UN’s committee for the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (CERD) examined New Zealand’s record as part of its eight year review cycle for signatories to the convention. Its 14-page report, released on 5 December, expressed concerns over multiple government policies affecting Māori, including the disestablishment of the Māori Health Authority, cuts to public funding for Māori services and minimising the role of the Treaty of Waitangi – the country’s founding document that is instrumental in upholding Māori rights – in schools and governance arrangements.
The committee said it was concerned some of the government’s policies – including scrapping the Māori health authority and budget cuts to Māori departments – “may seriously risk weakening the legal, institutional and policy framework for the implementation” of the racial discrimination convention.

Human Rights Education

Strengthening Human Rights Education Together: Meet the HRE Network Advisory Group. Amnesty International, 18 November 2025.
We are excited to introduce the Human Rights Education (HRE) Network Advisory Group (NAG), a new collective of HRE practitioners from across Amnesty International who will be working together to strengthen our global HRE network and support HRE as a core capacity within our movement. This group brings together diverse experiences, local knowledge, and creative methodologies to help shape the future of HRE across the organisation. Its role is to support the Global HRE Network by offering ideas, insights, and practical suggestions that reflect the richness of our global community. After initially meeting online, members of the HRE NAG recently gathered in Nairobi, Kenya, for an important strategic moment to:

• Build relationships in a face-to-face environment.
• Share experiences of HRE implementation across all regions.
• Define the role of the Advisory Group moving forward.
• Plan key actions to help strengthen connections and capacity across the HRE Network.

Mental Health and Human Rights

Identity, community, and comfort: how adults with mental health issues envision ideal social spaces. Cole Gershkovich, Karla Klein Murdock, Academia Mental Health and Well-Being 2025.
It is common for adults to experience mental health issues that can shape their self-understanding and social life. Although medical treatment can have an important role in mental health care, most of the work of our lives is carried out within non-medical social structures that support our well-being. This qualitative study addressed how individuals with mental health issues conceptualize their identities and envision ideal non-medicalized, wellness-promoting communities. Reflexive thematic analysis of survey responses (N = 36) identified three identity orientations: “injured selfhood” (those whose sense of self had been damaged and who felt helpless to positively affect their mental health); “mindset of management” (those who viewed their own mental health issues as manageable difficulties); and “double-edged sword” (those who perceived both negative and positive consequences of their mental health experiences). Across orientations, comfort was considered to be a core community need, defined by interpersonal factors like acceptance and freedom from judgement, and spatial factors like relaxing environments. These findings underscore the value of diverse, inclusive designs informed by lived experiences to create supportive mental health spaces.

Toward dignity-centred ethics in the treatment of longstanding and severe eating disorders: a lived experience-led narrative review. James Downs, Marissa Adams, Academia Mental Health and Well-Being, vol. 2, no. 4, Academia.edu Journals, 2025.
Longstanding and severe eating disorders (LSEDs) are frequently marked by medical risk, therapeutic impasse, and exclusion from standard care pathways. Yet insufficient attention has been paid to the ethical dimensions of treatment for those with complex and longstanding illness trajectories, in particular from the perspective of those with lived experience. This paper aims to address this gap as a lived-experience-authored narrative review focused on the concept of dignity as a guiding value of ethical care in LSEDs. Informed by critical interpretive synthesis, narrative ethics, and reflective practice methods, the authors integrate multiple sources of evidence. They adopt a lens of epistemic injustice, situating subjective knowledge alongside empirical research findings and the wider conceptual and ethical considerations of treatment provision.

Sudan

Largest aid delivery by NGO since March reaches Sudan with 40 tonnes of medicines and medical supplies. Save the children, November 2025.
The delivery from Nairobi was the largest aid consignment by an international NGO since March 2025, when Sudan issued a nationwide ban on all imports from Kenya, applying to ports, border crossings, airports, and entry points.
The consignment is enough to keep hundreds of health facilities running for 6-12 months, allowing hundreds of thousands of children to be treated.

Weaponized Psychology: From Serving the Russian Regime to Coerced Adoption of Ukrainian Children. Recording of the Webinar on 9 dec 2025. https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/7Tk-ywjA4nTkXhgmGbb9f7ozt4CSv5QVDg7qaQRYIf4sNg8niF72bJha0RJyCKoL.mVx1VMN_l_kjmMqk

This webinar is jointly organized by five national psychological associations:
• Lithuanian Psychological Association
• National Psychological Association of Ukraine
• Polish Psychological Association
• Estonian Union of Psychologists
• Czech-Moravian Psychological Society

The event brought together speakers to examine the disturbing role of Russian psychological institutions in supporting the Kremlin’s war efforts, shaping ideology, and participating in the coerced adoption of Ukrainian children. The program also includes an analysis of how mental health institutions have been used as tools of repression in Russia and occupied territories. One speaker is from Yale Research Lab at Yale School of Public Health. His presentation will be based on the report:  “Russia’s Systematic Program of Coerced Adoption and Fostering of Ukraine’s Children“ (December, 2024).
We believe this webinar is of high relevance to psychological associations committed to ethical practice, human rights, and the protection of vulnerable populations.

Women

South Africa’s #MeToo Moment: Women For Change leads GBV protest. Xolile Mtembu|November 2025, Cape Times.
Women For Change founder Sabrina Walter says South Africa is facing a turning point in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV), as thousands of women and allies across the country joined the online campaign turning their profile pictures purple in solidarity with survivors.

Behind the scenes: From doctor to gender-based violence advocate. Humanitarians at work. Newsletter on LinkedIn. 9 December 2025
In this edition of the Humanitarians At Work newsletter, dive into what it means to work on the frontlines of GBV prevention and response, hear about the challenges our teams confront every day and the dedication that keeps them going despite shrinking resources.

I started my career as an obstetrician–gynaecologist and worked in hospitals for many years. It is what I witnessed in the hospital that pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and move towards humanitarian work.
At the hospital, I saw refugee women and girls coming in with injuries from gender-based violence, with severe complications from female genital mutilation or with pregnancies resulting from rape.
I realised that I was treating the physical consequences, but at the end of the day, many of these women had no safe home to return to. Healing cannot happen if someone goes back to the same environment where the violence started.
That was the turning point for me. I wanted to understand the other side of these cases: the psychological impact, the protection risks and the lack of safety. I wanted to work on the root causes, not only the medical outcomes. And this is how I transitioned to humanitarian protection work.
My clinical background and my passion for sexual and reproductive health helped me transition into GBV and health programming, working with communities, strengthening safe referral systems and focusing on preventing violence before it reaches the clinic.
I believe every woman deserves not just healthcare but also safety, dignity and the power to make decisions about her own body and her own life. That belief is what drives me every single day.

PUBLICATIONS

Human Rights Defenders Under Siege. Felipe Gómez Isa et al., Edgar Elgar Publishing, 2025 ISBN: 978 1 03535 591 4 Extent: 328 pp

In this timely book, human rights academics, activists and officials in the field discuss the achievements and challenges since the 1998 adoption of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders (HRDs). The book includes a balanced combination of theoretical approaches and case studies with a global reach, developed under the institutional umbrella of the Association of Human Rights Institutes.

Captives and Companions. Justin Marozzi, Penguin books, 2025. A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World.
Slavery in the Islamic world has a long, complex and controversial history. Captives and Companions is a brilliant synthesis of history and contemporary reportage, which brings to life the voices of the enslaved in stories of eighth-century concubines and ninth-century revolts, thirteenth-century slave soldiers who established dynastic rule over Egypt, Syria and Iraq, eighteenth-century corsairs and twentieth century pearl divers in the Gulf. It also includes first-hand accounts of this legacy in the twenty-first century, including the depredations of Daesh and continuing hereditary slavery in Mali and Mauritania.
Justin Marozzi traces the extraordinary variety of enslavement in the Islamic world, which ranged from agricultural labour and domestic toil to elite concubinage, guardianship of sacred spaces, political leadership and even military command. He shows how Africa bore the brunt of the demand for slave labour, fuelled throughout the nineteenth century by expanding global markets and commodity chains. Slavers plied African coasts, traders raided inland for human cargo, and millions were marched across the Sahara into captivity. Meanwhile, North African corsairs turned the Mediterranean into a slave-raiding ‘free-for-all’ between Muslims, Christians and Jews.

 The political economy of immigration and welfare state reform: a collection of comparative political and economic essays on human mobility and social protection. Fenwick, C. E. (2025, November 12).Meijers-reeks.
In many advanced economies, immigration has become a defining characteristic of open, interconnected, and interdependent economies. Nowhere is this more evident than in the European Union (EU), where the process of widening and deepening integration has established a distinctive framework for fostering intra-European mobility. This dissertation examines how increasing immigration structurally and conceptually challenges the boundaries of European welfare states.

Velez, G. (2025). Making Meaning of Justice and Peace. A Developmental Lens to Restorative Justice and Peace Education. Cambridge University Press. This comprehensive guide navigates the intersection of psychology, peacebuilding, and violence engagement among youth. Beginning with an exploration of psychology’s role in social justice, it establishes the groundwork in restorative justice and peace education, areas ripe for psychological exploration. The book introduces the conceptualized peace framework, illuminating how young people interpret societal discourses to shape their identities within the context of peace and harmony. Through empirical examples, the framework’s efficacy is demonstrated, followed by practical methods and future directions for educators, practitioners, and policymakers. Core to its mission is unravelling the psychological mechanisms underlying participation in peace education and restorative justice, probing how past experiences influence engagement and shape social identities.
