The Regional Programme on Human Rights for participants from Eastern
June 7, 2007.
The objective of the programme is to provide participants with in-
depth knowledge of international and regional systems for the
promotion and protection of human rights, regional and international
monitoring mechanisms and national implementation procedures in the
field of human rights. The programme will also provide an opportunity
for participants to exchange ideas and experiences from their national
contexts. Through the programme, participants will gain knowledge in
the area of human rights which can be utilized in the participants'
own line of work.
The programme will accept 25 participants and is primarily designed
for mid-level and senior officials in public service (e.g. in
government, the judiciary and central police and prison authorities)
as well as representatives (e.g. lecturers and researchers) from
academic institutions and non-governmental organisations dealing with
human rights issues.
During Phase I of the programme, participants will be requested to
formulate, in writing, an individual assignment identifying challenges
in implementing international human rights standards focusing on a
particular issue or area of relevance to their respective institution
or organisation.
The issue or area of focus in the individual assignment should concern
one of the following topics:
Minority Rights
Rights of vulnerable groups (persons with disabilities, migrants,
IDPs)
