DEFENDING HUMAN RIGHTS

Objectives
Participants are able
• to gain insights 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 humman rights or protect
human rights defenders
