Background

I am a political scientist with a PhD in in Human Rights and Peace Studies from the Institute for Human Rights and Peace Studies at Mahidol University, Thailand and a graduate degree (Cand.polit.) in political science from the University of Oslo. My undergraduate degree is a Cand.mag. with French, political science and philosophy as subjects.

I have my post-graduate diploma in education from the University of Oslo (subject didactics: social sciences and foreign language teaching/French) and in education at university/university college level from Østfold University College.

I have previously worked with development aid and with advocacy, i.a. as a former coordinator for PD Burma, a former adviser in development policy and a country program manager for Myanmar for Norwegian Church Aid.

Experience leading seminars at foundation and intermediate levels while a graduate student in political science (1997-1998) and with leading seminars and as course coordinator at Bjørknes/University of Queensland-Bachelor of Journalism (2001-2006).

Experience with peer reviews for i.a. Journal of International Development and Global Responsibility to Protect.

Buzzi, Camilla (2021). Mass Atrocities in Myanmar and the Responsibility to Protect in a Digital Age. Global Responsibility to Protect. ISSN 1875-9858. 13(2-3), p. 272–296. doi: 10.1163/1875-984X-13020001. Show summary
Liberalisation of the telecommunications sector is a significant part of the political changes that were initiated in 2011 in Myanmar, making smartphones, sim cards, and access to the internet more widely available. Social media (SoMe) platforms, notably Facebook, have emerged as the main access to the internet for many people. But as the transition has proceeded, SoMe has become a space both for human rights activism and for inciting human rights abuses against vulnerable minorities. It is well documented that both the state and civil society in Myanmar have used Facebook to foment violence and mass atrocities against the Rohingya and other vulnerable minorities. This article examines some challenges for internet and SoMe governance drawing on the response of Facebook and various internet service providers in Myanmar in order to explore how to apply the norm of R2P on the net. The article aims to provide input for lessons learnt on mass atrocity prevention in a digital age.
