Specialisation Course - Human Rights
This course addresses the training needs of human rights field officers. Their tasks, as members of human rights field operations, range from traditional monitoring, tailored to different rights and beneficiaries, to fact-finding and/or full-scale legal inquiries on alleged human rights abuses. They are usually also entrusted with activities such as human rights education, human rights promotion, capacity-building and technical assistance, with special attention to issues that are relevant for vulnerable groups. Participants to the courses must already have a basic understanding of international human rights and humanitarian law.
