2015 Dates: Monday 22nd to Friday 26th June
Venue: National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Ireland
This annual IHRN training programme aims at enhancing the skills of justice sector personnel, consultants, managers etc., in applying Human Rights Based Approaches to Justice Sector Reform. The programme is designed for people working in the justice sector (with state or non-state institutions) or undertaking Rule of law/Governance assignments (e.g. UN, EC Framework Contract Lot 7 – Governance and Home Affairs) as well as justice sector personnel wishing to adapt their expertise for international consultancy work.
Knowledge and skills enhanced include:
• The legal principles, policies & practice underpinning human rights based approaches to justice sector reform
• The inter-linkages between justice sector roles (law enforcement, judiciary, corrections/rehabilitation, etc.)
• The relationship between the justice sector and related terms; ‘security sector’, ‘rule of law’, ‘good governance’
• Human Rights Based needs assessment, programme design, implementation, monitoring & evaluation
• Programming tools & checklists (including benchmarks & indicators of human rights change)
• Case studies from national contexts as well as international field missions (including conflict and post-conflict)
• Teamwork, advocacy, strategic partnerships and international work opportunities in the sector
IHRN offers some scholarship support to enable participation by some suitably qualified applicants who would not otherwise be able to do so. An IHRN Scholarship is designed for an individual from a non-OECD country, working with a civil society organisation on justice sector reform. Regrettably we are not in a position to offer financial support to officials of inter-governmental organisations or state bodies. Scholarship applicants are advised to apply before 28 February 2015.
