Student co-designed project: Arqus countries’ 2023 human rights records review 

Meet Katarina Stanisavljevic, student of the MA's Programme in Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance and BA graduate in International Relations. She is the coordinator of one of the Arqus Student co-designed projects that got funds in 2023.
The project, initiated by an international team of students and former delegates of the Padova Model UPR, aims to harness the collective expertise of students of the Arqus alliance universities to collect and elaborate data on the human rights performance of their respective states that may be relevant for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) conducted by the UN Human Rights Council. This collaborative project designed and promoted across Arqus universities, aims at involving Arqus students in doing research on the UPR process of their own countries. A catalyst for this is the a UNIPD activity already scheduled in Autumn 2023, namely the 6th edition of the Model UPR (a simulation of the UN UPR procedure) and the Implementing UPR exercise, involving 15 first-year students from the Human Rights and Multi-Level Governance MA program in reviewing the human rights status of selected countries.
