The International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) will organise a training course on International Human Rights Law and Advocacy from 13 to 24 September 2010 in Geneva. The main objective of this course is to empower human rights organisations by training their representatives to effectively use the United Nations (UN) human rights mechanisms.
The course takes place over a period of two weeks in parallel to the 15th session of the Human Rights Council (the Council) providing human rights defenders with an opportunity to experience first-hand the UN human rights mechanisms in action.
The cost of the course is approximately 6,000 CHF (including accommodation, per-diems, health insurance, and airfare). All participants are responsible for ensuring their own funding for the course. More information about the course is available in the attachment. Applications should be send to courses@ishr.ch as soon as possible.
