SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE DAY FOCUS

Special Focus: Artificial Intelligence and Human Dignity

Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping communication, labor, education, governance, security, and everyday life. As technological systems become more integrated into institutions, questions concerning human dignity, ethics, accountability, and social responsibility are receiving growing international attention. Discussions surrounding artificial intelligence have raised concerns related to inequality, surveillance, concentration of power, labor displacement, warfare, and the role of technology in shaping human relationships and public life. At the same time, scholars, policymakers, humanitarian organizations, and religious institutions have called for greater reflection on the ethical and social implications of emerging technologies. These discussions emphasize the need for technological development to remain connected to principles of dignity, justice, inclusion, and human rights.

Marking the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIV releases his first encyclical, entitled ‘Magnifica humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence.’ He appeals for the safeguarding of humanity, promotion of truth, dignity of work, social justice, and peace. “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Themes: Remaining human in the age of algorithms – Safeguarding human dignity – Social justice and the ‘litmus test’ regarding migrants – Abuse and the examination of conscience by the Church – An ethical code for AI – Disarming AI.

Tomer Persico: From Genesis to Human Rights. JBS and Shalom Hartman Institute. YouTube. 2026, January 27. In The Spotlight with Abigail Pogrebin sits down with Tomer Persico  author of In God’s Image a thought-provoking exploration of how the idea that “all people are created in the image of God” has shaped the modern world. From liberalism and feminism to humanism and LGBT rights, Tomer traces how this profound idea from Genesis influenced the West’s cultural, financial, and military dominance — and continues to inspire our understanding of human rights today.

Academic Freedom / Freedom of Expression

UTGFSA, ACAF launch consultations on African Principles on Academic Freedom. Olimatou Coker, The Standard, May 21, 2026. The University of The Gambia Faculty and Staff Association (UTGFSA), in partnership with the Africa Coalition for Academic Freedom (ACAF), hosted a one-day consultative workshop in Banjul to shape the African Principles on Academic Freedom (APAF).  Nahla Tambadou, Vice Chairperson of the UTG Governing Council, speaking on behalf of the Chairperson, said academic freedom is essential for learning, research, and democratic development. “This consultation is a timely step toward developing African-centered principles that will strengthen higher education and protect intellectual freedom across the continent,” she said. The APAF process will consolidate recommendations from all five countries into a continental framework to guide policy and practice on academic freedom in Africa. 

What the West misses about fundamentalism. Tomer Persico, The Times of Israel. 2026, March. In this blog post, Tomer Persico reflects on how religious fundamentalism is often understood differently in Western societies than in the Middle East, where it is experienced as an active political and social force. The piece examines the relationship between fundamentalism, liberalism, and contemporary political discourse, arguing that fundamentalist movements should be understood in relation to identity, power, and reactions to social change. 

Climate Justice

USA: Boom in lithium mining across Nevada is violating the rights of Indigenous Peoples Amnesty International. (2026, May 12). The US government is breaching international human rights standards by moving ahead with a series of new lithium mines across Nevada without the Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) of affected Indigenous Peoples, threatening their culture, health, water and environment, Amnesty International said in a new research briefing out today. As global demand for lithium surges, driven by the energy transition and rapid expansion of AI-related data centres, Nevada has become a key extraction hub, holding around 85% of the United States of America’s known lithium reserves. “We’re here to protect Mother Earth: Indigenous Rights and Nevada’s Lithium Boom” focuses on three massive lithium mining projects in Nevada: the Thacker Pass Lithium Mine, which is already under construction; the Nevada North Lithium Project; and the Rhyolite Ridge Lithium Project. The new research reveals how Indigenous Peoples’ consent was never sought or obtained for these mines, which affect their ancestral lands, and lay bare an extractive-sector business model that systematically prioritizes speed, scale and profit at the expense of Indigenous Peoples’ rights and the environment. 

The 10-Minute Climate Fix: What You Can Do Between Classes. EARTHDAY, May 8, 2026.  It’s 10:47 a.m., your next class is six blocks away, and your thumb is hovering over that rideshare app. The pull is real — faster, easier, predictable. But what that moment obscures is how carbon-intensive short car trips actually are. Cold-start engines haven’t warmed up yet, which means higher emissions from the jump, and stop-and-go campus traffic makes it worse from there. The climate crisis is real. It is urgent. And it will not be solved by any one person making any one perfect choice. But it will be shaped by repeated decisions — small, practical, and built into the texture of everyday life. The kind that doesn’t require more time, just a different default. The kind that, multiplied across millions of students on millions of campuses, starts to look less like individual habits and more like a generation deciding who it wants to be. You already have the time. You already have the gap between classes. Go use it. 

Inclusive science brings the best talent to ecology and sustainability. Martin A. Nuñez, Academia Environmental Sciences and Sustainability, vol. 3, no. 2, 2026. Special Issue Editorial: Making ecology and sustainability sciences more inclusive. Environmental crises are too complex and urgent to be addressed by a narrow segment of humanity. Ecology and sustainability sciences therefore require institutions that identify, recruit, support, and retain talent by removing barriers across the scientific pathway. Drawing on contributions to this Special Issue, this editorial synthesizes evidence that barriers to inclusion operate across the full scientific pathway, from undergraduate training, fieldwork, mentoring, and publication to hiring, evaluation, policy participation, and conservation governance. These barriers are not isolated failures but linked institutional structures that do not always select the best talent. It also highlights practical routes toward better science, including stronger mentoring, safer and more accessible field experiences, better evaluation systems, meaningful community participation, and intentional outreach to ensure that qualified candidates are aware of opportunities. Inclusive science is therefore not peripheral to excellence; it is a condition for producing more creative, rigorous, and relevant ecology and sustainability research. 

Crimes Against Humanity

The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians. Nicholas Kristof, Opinion Columnist, reporting from the West Bank, NY Times, May 11, 2026. It’s a simple proposition: Whatever our views of the Middle East conflict, we should be able to unite in condemning rape. Supporters of Israel made that point after the brutal sexual assaults against Israeli women during the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu and many U.S. senators, including Marco Rubio, condemned that sexual violence, and Netanyahu rightly called on “all civilized leaders” to “speak up.” And yet in wrenching interviews, Palestinians have recounted to me a pattern of widespread Israeli sexual violence against men, women and even children — by soldiers, settlers, interrogators in the Shin Bet internal security agency and, above all, prison guards.  “Where the hell are you?” Netanyahu asked the international community then, demanding that it condemn sexual violence committed by what the Israeli government has called the “Hamas rapist regime.” Hamas has indeed brutally violated human rights. Israeli officials should look to their own violations as well — in particular at what a 49-page United Nations report last year called Israel’s “systematically” subjecting Palestinians to “sexualized torture” committed with at least “an implicit encouragement by the top civilian and military leadership.”  Think of it this way: The horrific abuse inflicted on Israeli women on Oct. 7 now happens to Palestinians day after day. It persists because of silence, indifference and the failure of American and Israeli officials alike to answer Netanyahu’s query: Where the hell are you? 

Data Rights

Looking the other way: EU failure to prevent surveillance exports to rights violators. Human Rights Watch. 2026. This report examines the growing use of commercial spyware and surveillance technologies against activists, journalists, academics, humanitarians, and other critical voices worldwide. Human Rights Watch argues that despite existing regulatory frameworks, the European Union has failed to adequately prevent the export of surveillance technologies to governments linked to repression, privacy violations, and crackdowns on dissent. The report highlights the implications of these technologies for democratic institutions, civic space, physical safety, and the ability of journalists and human rights defenders to work freely and protect their sources.

Democracy and Human Rights

Actually, Democracy Dies in H.R. Amanda Taub, NY Times, May 18, 2026. This article examines new research on how authoritarian leaders consolidate power through ordinary bureaucratic and institutional processes rather than through charisma or ideology alone. It explores how hiring systems, administrative structures, and loyal but often mediocre officials can help sustain authoritarian governance by rewarding conformity and discouraging dissent. The piece reflects on the relationship between institutions, workplace culture, and the erosion of democratic norms.

Displaced/ Migrants/ Refugees/ Stateless

Open-Minded or Open-Ended? The Chișinău Declaration on the ECHR and Migration. Lize R. Glas, Kushtrim Istrefi, Antoine Buyse and Corina Heri, ECHR Blog, 2026. On 15 May, the 46 Council of Europe member states adopted the Chișinău Declaration on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and migration. The declaration addresses ongoing debates over how European states balance migration control and deportation policies with human rights protections. While the declaration avoids some earlier proposals to weaken protections for migrants and family life rights, concerns remain about language emphasizing state interests and public security over the protection of individual rights in migration and expulsion cases

Right to Education

The Right to Education: Progress, Challenges and the Road Ahead 
Shaheed, F. Frontiers in Education, 10. 2026. This essay is from the perspective of the mandate of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education, established to promote and protect universal access to education as a fundamental human right. Reflecting on 25 years of progress, it highlights that while there is global consensus on education as a driver of individual and societal well-being, there is less agreement on the content and purpose of education, and challenges of exclusion and discrimination. It reflects on some key issues relating to privatization, digitalization and education in crises, underscoring the risks they pose to equity and inclusivity. It emphasizes the need for robust governance and collaborative efforts to address these challenges while safeguarding education as a public and common good. The essay endorses calls for a reimagined vision of education, rooted in global solidarity and human rights that fosters critical thinking, creativity and social cohesion, addresses inequalities and prepares learners to navigate our complex changing world. It suggests that by prioritizing dignity, justice and equity, education can serve as a transformative force for sustainable inclusive futures. It urges strengthened international frameworks to protect education during crises, ensure inclusive policies and address emerging concerns like the ethical use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

Inclusion, Exclusion, Racism

France to return bodies of Indigenous people exhibited in colonial ‘human zoos’. Benjamin Dodman, France24, 19 May, 2026. French senators have unanimously passed a bill allowing for the remains of people who were exhibited in colonial-era “human zoos” in Paris to be returned to their ancestral lands in French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America. The draft law meets a long-standing demand of Indigenous communities in France’s overseas territories, acknowledging a dark chapter from the country’s past.   

Mental Health and Human Rights

Managing in war, planning for peace: second report of The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on mental health in Ukraine. Irina Pinchuk et al., Bennett L Leventhal, Akisa Ladyk- Bryzghalova, The Lancet Psychiatry, 2026; 13, 496-507.  Despite the ongoing, brutal, and traumatic Russian war of aggression, Ukraine is successfully and persistently leveraging high-level political commitment and international partnerships to replace an antiquated, institutionalised mental health model with a modern, community-centred system focused on resilience and human rights. This report reflects the progress, changes, and transformation of Ukraine’s mental health system since the publication of the 2024 Lancet Psychiatry Commission. The 2024 Commission has served as the official blueprint for reforming Ukrainian mental health services, gaining acceptance from both the Government and health-care practitioners. Consultations throughout 2025 focused on integrating international standards into the local systems and extracting lessons learned to benefit the global psychiatric community.

Patient dignity in mental health care: From inherent worth to standing  Turan, C., & Sensen, O. Academia Mental Health and Well-Being, 3(1). 2026. Respect for patient dignity is recognized as an ethical commitment in healthcare, yet the concept often remains too abstract to guide clinical practice. This challenge is salient in mental health contexts, where patients may experience diminished autonomy, stigma, or institutional constraints. This paper develops a conceptual and normative analysis of dignity in mental health care by distinguishing between two conceptions: dignity as inherent worth and dignity-as-standing. Drawing on philosophical analysis, empirical literature, and global policy frameworks, the paper evaluates each conception’s practical implications for care. We argue that while dignity as inherent worth understands dignity as an intrinsic, non-natural value grounding human rights, it often remains too vague to guide clinical decision-making and may risk excluding patients with diminished autonomy. By contrast, dignity-as-standing conceives dignity not as a metaphysical value but as the elevated moral standing of persons that calls for treatment befitting their rank as members of the moral community. This conception offers a more action-guiding and inclusive framework for care, especially for patients with mental illness, disabilities, dementia, or advanced age. On this basis, we identify strategies for operationalizing dignity in practice, including recognizing autonomy as a continuum, implementing supported decision-making, respecting value-based refusals, and embedding relational, structural, and culturally responsive supports in care. The dignity-as-standing framework offers a practical and ethically coherent foundation for respecting patients’ dignity in mental health care, enabling clinicians and institutions to translate the ideal of dignity into concrete practices across diverse clinical and cultural contexts. 

Paradigm shifts in mental health legislation: A comparative analysis of WHO guidelines (2006 & 2023) and implications for future policies. Xue, Q., & Chen, B. Frontiers in Psychiatry, 17,  1804522. 2026. This study presents a comparative analysis of the World Health Organization’s mental health legislative guidance spanning nearly two decades, documenting a fundamental paradigm shift that reflects broader transformations in psychiatric research and practice. By systematically examining the WHO’s Resource Book on Mental Health, Human Rights and Legislation (2006) and the Mental health, human rights and legislation: guidance and practice: Guidance and Practice (2023), we illuminate how the UN CRPD has reconceptualized mental health law. Our analysis reveals a decisive transition from biomedical to human rights-based approaches. The 2006 guidelines, while progressive for their time, accepted involuntary hospitalization under procedural safeguards and endorsed substitute decision-making mechanisms. In contrast, the 2023 framework fundamentally rejects coercion, promotes deinstitutionalization, universal legal capacity, and supported decision-making. This transformation directly addresses multiple themes central to contemporary psychiatric research: promoting mental wellbeing through supportive rather than coercive interventions; reimagining crisis response through peer support rather than restraint; and ensuring participation of persons with lived experience in policy making. Despite its ambition, the implementation of the 2023 Guidance faces some challenges. First, its commitment to universal legal capacity and the abolition of coercive interventions risks outpacing existing social infrastructures and may even weaken substantive rights in high-risk situations. Second, cross-agency coordination confronts poorly coordinated departments and unclear accountability. Third, monitoring and data-driven oversight remains difficult to operationalize in many jurisdictions due to limited authority, resources, and data capacity. In response, this article advances three corresponding recommendations. WHO could strengthen the evidence base for rights-based mental health reforms by drawing more systematically on CRPD state reporting, committee reviews, while facilitating cross-national research to support the effective implementation of the Guidance. Regarding the whole-sectoral coordination, a phased and procedurally oriented approach may offer a more realistic starting point. International assessment mechanisms could supplement domestic monitoring by providing comparative legal assessments, supported by structured expert training and the inclusion of people with lived experience. While these challenges temper expectations of immediate transformation, the 2023 Guidance nonetheless makes a significant contribution by reorienting mental health law toward rights–based approaches and providing a durable normative foundation for future reform. 

Peace, Violence and War 

Iran and Lebanon

Peace Psychologists Call for End to U.S. Role in the Violence in Iran and Lebanon. Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence (Division 48, American Psychological Association). Peace Psychology. 2026. Approved by the Executive Committee of the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence on March 31, 2026, this statement calls for an immediate end to violence involving the United States and its allies in Iran and Lebanon. Drawing on research and practice in peace psychology, the statement discusses the humanitarian, psychological, and social consequences of military violence, including displacement, destruction of civilian infrastructure, trauma, and long-term impacts on mental health and social cohesion. The statement also calls for the protection of civilian life, harm reduction, trauma-informed recovery, and greater attention to the psychological consequences of war and large-scale violence.

Women

Mother’s Day. Heather Cox Richardson. Letters from an American. May 10, 2026.. If you google the history of Mother’s Day, the internet will tell you that Mother’s Day began in 1908 when Anna Jarvis decided to honor her mother. But “Mothers’ Day”—with the apostrophe not in the singular spot, but in the plural—actually started in the 1870s, when the sheer enormity of the death caused by the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War convinced writer and reformer Julia Ward Howe that women must take control of politics from the men who had permitted such carnage. Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change society.  From her home in Boston, Julia Ward Howe was a key figure in the American Woman Suffrage Association. She was an enormously talented writer who in the early years of the Civil War had penned “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” a hymn whose lyrics made it a point to note that Christ was “born of woman.” While we celebrate the modern version of Mother’s Day on May 9, in this momentous year of 2026, it’s worth remembering the original Mothers’ Day and Julia Ward Howe’s conviction that women must have the same rights as men, and that they must make their voices heard. 

Women’s protest suicide by self-burning in Southern and Central Asia: a political act to decry systemic discrimination, abuse and violence. Silvia S. Canetto, BMC Women’s Health. 2026.In Southern and Central Asia protest suicide by self-burning is most common among women. What women in this region protest via suicidal self-burning are violations of their human rights, including their right to education, paid work, self-determination in marriage and divorce, and their right to be safe from violence. These violations are often perpetrated within the family with informal and formal enabling by the community and the state. Because the family is a primary context of women’s human rights violations, women’s protest suicide by self-burning is frequently dismissed as a private problem to be addressed via psychocentric solutions. This systematic review provides evidence that in Southern and Central Asia women’s suicide by self-burning is a political act; a culturally scripted way for women to protest systemic discrimination, abuse and violence. Southern and Central Asian women’s protest suicide by self-burning challenges the psychocentric focus of theory, research, and the prevention of women’s suicide. As a political act in response to public problems, women’s protest suicide by self-burning requires systemic analysis and solutions.

What went wrong in Israel? A genocide scholar examines ‘what Zionism became’. Aaron Gell, The Guardian, 21 April 2026. In his new book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, Omer Bartov tracks how a liberatory strand of Zionism transformed into an extremist ideology that he sees as responsible for genocide in Gaza. Bartov did more than simply apply the word genocide to Israel’s actions: he shouted it from the establishment-media rooftops, making the case in a lengthy July 2025 essay in the New York Times titled: I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It. (He had addressed some of the arguments in a Guardian essay the year prior.) Bartov’s declaration cost him several close relationships, he told me, even though subsequent events have not only validated his analysis but further demonstrated the lack of concern for Palestinian suffering that has become prevalent in Israeli society.  The Brown University professor, who teaches a popular course on the Holocaust and the Nakba, is hardly a disinterested observer. Both his parents were devoted Zionists who fought in the 1948 war, and Bartov himself spent four years in the IDF, serving in the West Bank, northern Sinai and Gaza, ultimately commanding an infantry company. He went on to earn a doctorate in history at Oxford, becoming a highly regarded genocide scholar.

Upcoming Events

Call for Proposals : 11th International Conference of
Community Psychology. Gathering in the Motherland: Celebrating the Ways of Water & Reconnecting to the Source. September 1 – 4, 2026. Lagos State University, Lagos, Nigeria.
Water, the excellent nurturer, supports all forms of life, whether mythical or actual. Water runs through and shapes every landscape, enlivening the hills, the mountains, the forest, and animals of varied kinds. The power of water lies in its ability to shapeshift form for conditions. The rise of civilizations has always been inextricably linked to the successful management of water when there was either too little or too much of it, harnessing its power. All ecosystems and cultures, through the movement of humans and goods, have often become identified with the societies they support. Is it possible to think of China without imagining the Yangzi, ancient Egypt without the influence of the Nile, Caesar’s Rome, or Dante’s Florence without picturing the Tiber or the Arno? It is impossible to think of the transatlantic trade and redistributing human bodies across the Americas without Lagos, Badagry’s “Point of no Return.”

Summer School in Cinema, Human Rights and Advocacy. 31 August – 9 September 2026.
