In Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital tech solutions mostly failed, yet they nevertheless unleashed new logics of governance and capital accumulation by states and corporations.

CGHR’s Human Rights in the Digital Age theme addresses the emergent and rapidly evolving changes wrought to human rights practices and norms by the use of digital technologies. With respect to practices, this includes human rights fact-finding and advocacy; with respect to norms, this includes human rights related to communication, information, expression, privacy, assembly and association.

A withering analysis of the tragic susceptibility of interventionist peace deals to precipitate ongoing violence.
With a small team of student research volunteers, CGHR is carrying out Solidarity Platforms Project this term, based on CGHR’s Provocations: Tech Design and Human Rights project.
The Student Group are working on a research project assessing the impact of AI technologies on the surveillance and policing of protest groups between 2019 and 2023.
For a new project relating to state violence against journalists covering protests, the DVC has conducted remote open-source research across eighteen different countries.
