Human Rights Litigation
13 February-20 May 2008
Instructors: Margarita Ilieva and Krassimir Kanev
This distance learning course provides participants with knowledge of the concept, types, venues and strategies of human rights litigation. It focuses on strategic litigation and legal aid both internationally and domestically, and explores a variety of strategies: issue or group oriented litigation, community based services, legal clinics, NGO or law firm resourced actions and others. Participants are familiarised with court ordered structural relief, as well as with conventional victim-centered legal remedies. Non-litigation strategies to maximise the chances of winning cases and to ensure the effective enforcement of decisions too are considered. The course places impact litigation in its social and institutional context exploring issues of its legitimacy, as well as the ethics and accountability of human rights lawyering. In the last part it highlights litigation for the vindication of several groups of substantive rights, including economic and social rights, freedom from torture, equality and asylum. Participants will be provided with examples from various jurisdictions in the world illustrating strategic human rights litigation in practice.

HREA Distance Learning Course 4F08:
Le monitoring des droits de l'homme
18 février-18 mai 2008
Ce cours à distance a pour objet d'initier les contrôleurs des droits de l'homme et le personnel des organisations internationaux et des ONG (nationales et internationales) à le monitoring les droits de l'homme. Le cours reflète les nombreux principes admis concernant la surveillance des droits de l'homme, qui doivent être respectés dans les opérations en matière de droits de l'homme menées par l'ONU sur le terrain, et comme tel il veut contribuer à accroître l'efficacité des travaux de terrain concernant les droits de l'homme. Même s'il s'adresse en premier lieu aux contrôleurs des droits de l'homme des Nations Unies, on espère qu'il sera également utile aux contrôleurs des droits de l'homme appartenant à d'autres organisations, qu'elles soient de nature intergouvernementale ou non-gouvernementale.

HREA Distance Learning Course 10E08:
The United Nations Human Rights System
11 February-11 May 2008
Instructor: Dr. Gerd Oberleitner
The aim of the course is to provide information on the United Nations (UN) human rights system by looking at the work and outcome of the Human Rights Council. The course is scheduled parallel to the regular session of the Human Rights Council. By making extensive use of the Council's website -- which contains legal documents, press releases, and audio and video files on the session, and is updated daily -- course participants will be able to learn about the UN's human rights activities as they present themselves to the world: in real-time, with immediate access to the original material, live and uncut, and with all the dramatic twists and turns a session of the Council offers. The course will expose students to the real world of human rights in the making and offer them a glimpse into the world of human rights diplomacy on the highest possible level. An experienced course instructor will guide the participants through the Council's session so as to ensure a learning experience on a high academic level.
The course will provide a brief introduction to the UN human rights system, the core UN human rights standards and supervisory machineries, the charter- and treaty-based system of human rights protection, the role of the current Human Rights Council, the old UN Commission on Human Rights, the Subcommission on the Protection and Promotion of Human Rights, ECOSOC, General Assembly and Security Council. Special focus will be put on the history, mandate and composition of the Council, its legal and political characteristics, the role of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN reform process. This will enable students to follow the deliberations of the Council and understand the events as they unfold. Relevant on-line teaching material to this end will be provided.

HREA Distance Learning Course 14E08:
Monitoring Children's Rights
20 February-27 May 2008
Instructor: Felisa Tibbitts
This distance learning course is a basic introduction to measuring and monitoring the status of children, including basic health and welfare, education, civil rights and freedoms, and special protection measures. The course will address the full cycle of monitoring, including tool development; methodologies for carrying out monitoring (both organizationally as well as through the involvement of children); and the application of results for improving the promotion and protection of children's human rights.
Learners will explore different indicators and indexes already in use and the basics of constructing a social indicator. Through a blending of theoretical and case study material, the course will illustrate procedures for the appraisal, selection, development and analysis of indicator data, although highly technical aspects of mathematical manipulation of indicators and statistical regression will not be addressed.

HREA Distance Learning Course 8D08:
Einführung in die Menschenrechtsbildung
20. Februar-27. Mai 2008
Instructor: Dr. Karl-Peter Fritzsche
Der Kurs bietet eine Einführung in die Menschenrechtsbildung (MRB) aus nationaler und internationaler Perspektive. Vier Schlüsselfragen strukturieren den Kurs. Welche Grundkenntnisse der Menschenrechte sind unverzichtbar? Was verstehen wir unter MRB? Welche Angebote von MRB gibt es bereits? Wie kann kreativ an diese Angebote angeknüpft werden und wie können dabei mögliche Hindernisse überwunden werden? Die Konzeption des Kurses orientiert sich an einem breiten Menschenrechtsverständnis, das die rechtlichen, politischen und moralischen Dimensionen der Menschenrechte zusammendenkt und durch die MRB vermitteln möchte. Der Kurs richtet sich an alle Bildner und Trainer im schulischen wie außerschulischen Bereich, die menschenrechtsorientierte Bildung praktizieren (wollen). Die Kursteilnehmer werden sowohl lernen, die Menschenrechte zum Querschnittsthema in ihren Bildungsbereichen zu machen als auch ihre Bildungsprozesse selbst menschenrechtlich zu gestalten und die Lerner zu menschenrechtsorietiertem Handeln zu befähigen. Der deutschsprachige Kurs richtet sich vorrangig an Teilnehmer aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz.

HREA Distance Learning Course 5E08:
Rights-Based Programming
27 February-20 May 2008
Instructor: Felisa Tibbitts
This distance learning course introduces staff members of (international) development agencies and NGOs to rights-based programming. A human rights-based approach is a conceptual framework for the process of human development that is normatively based on international human rights standards and operationally directed to promoting and protecting human rights. Essentially, a human rights-based approach integrates the norms, standards and principles of the international human rights system into the plans, policies and processes of programme development.
Participants will deepen their knowledge about project and programme development from a human rights framework and learn how to apply the principles of equity, empowerment, participation and accountability to various phases of project planning and implementation. Participants will also gain sensitivity to how programs can integrate non-discriminatory practice and give attention to vulnerable groups. The course will focus on practical tools for human rights situation assessment, programme planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation within the rights-based conceptual framework.

Dear All,
It has quite a long time without any news from you. How are you doing with your plans?
What is happening and what differences are being seen since Pretoria.
I have been around and included what I have learned in two national workshops. I Am probably get the chance to repeat in a seminar planned for July 2008.
I have finished my law degree and I am preparing thesis on Legal and Human Rights Protection for affected and infected by HIV-AIDs – the defence of the thesis is planned for end June 2008.
Best wishes to you all
Specially to my secret friends

The other two old ladies just vanished and never said a word after Pretoria.
Uauhhh lucky you, I can imagine how added value it was the course on
children's rights. Congratulations
I am still a bit busy in phase of correction, proofreading of my thesis.
What I am writing is about legal assistance to HIV/AIDS affected and
infected persons vs protection of their Human rights in the context of the
national law/bill for HIV/AIDS. The problematic issue is that its mostly
aimed to the protection of workers and nothing for the remaining people.
Luckly the lawyers are starting to prepare a more comprehensive law.
I already got an invitation to voluntarily provided legal assistance to a
recently created National NGO led by the former Women's League of the
leading party FRELIMO. I committed myself to start in July after this thesis
business. Its not easy with my daily work I have little time left. It will
be a nice training for my field of specialization and will have more chances
to apply Pretoria's knowledge. This big organizations usually have their won
mandates, training schedule, objectives etc and is not easy for your to
squeeze yourself into their programmes specially when they have financial
constraints.
Let me stop this journal....
I wish you all success and a nice weekend.
