This paper sums up the discussions held during a series of online lectures on “Corona,
Forced Migration and Human Rights” organised in 2020 by the Centre for Human Rights
(CHREN) of Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in Germany within
the project FFVT, “Forced Migration and Refugee Studies: Networking and Knowledge
Transfer”. The lecture series brought together scientists, journalists, and practitioners in an
attempt to analyse the COVID-19 situation for refugees and to identify gaps for future
research, policy, and activism. Central to each of these was the human rights classification
of the reports as showing that certain human rights are particularly affected by COVID-
19. In three online events, experts examined the pandemic´s impacts on refugees and
migrants on different political levels: global, European and national/local. The first one
focused on Western Africa and Libya, followed by the situation at the EU external borders,
more precisely on the Greek island Lesbos. Finally, the national, regional, and local levels
were analysed, scrutinizing the accommodation of refugees in Germany and particularly
Bavaria, under COVID-19 conditions. This review combines ad-hoc reports of various
practitioners working in the field in different regions and may serve as a basis for more indepth
discussions.
