On the 18th of September 2017 the MOOC on “Mass Migration and Human Rights – Legal and Ethical Dilemmas” was launched. It was coordinated by the Association of Human Rights Institutes and the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights and concluded on the 9th of October 2017. The lecture series focussed on mass migration from and within the MENA region (Middle East and Northern Africa) and European asylum law and policies, while understanding the refugee crisis in a global perspective. Manfred Nowak of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights was one of the lecturers and experts who contributed to the MOOC.
