Objectives:
Participants are able
• to gain an insight into the concept of human rights and an overview
of selected international and regional human rights instruments;
• to formulate their own perspective on the universality
of human rights;
• to identify potential strategies for defending human rights
in their own context.
Human rights matter for peace work in at least three different ways.
The denial of human rights can be a cause for conflict. Violent conflict
often goes along with gross human rights violations. And human
rights can serve as a vision for a just and peaceful society in a
post-conflict setting.
In this training we uncover the origin(s) of human rights, give an overview
of the most important international and regional human rights
standards and apply these to selected case studies of human rights violations.
Furthermore we will discuss the universality of human rights
from different perspectives.
We will share examples how human rights are effectively claimed and
defended - and how human rights defenders can be protected. The
training is relevant for all who want to gain a better understanding of
the concept of human rights and who want to defend human rights
or protect human rights defenders.
