Training Resources
The APF produces professional training resources that provide practical guidance on key human rights issues and themes.
Our resources support staff in national human rights institutions, as well as human rights trainers.
In 2011 and 2012, the APF will develop Operational Guides for National Human Rights Institutions on:
- Engaging with the international human rights system
- Promoting and protecting the rights of migrant workers (a partnership with the Diplomacy Training Program)
- Implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including a companion CD-Rom (a partnership with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights)
- Conducting effective national inquiries.
These publications will be developed in consultation with APF member institutions, in order to collect and exchange ‘good practice’ approaches.
They will also complement Preventing Torture: An Operational Guide for National Human Rights Institutions, which was published jointly by the APF, the Association for the Prevention of Torture and OHCHR in October 2010.
In addition, the APF has also produced Modules for Trainers on:
- NHRIs and the International Human Rights System
- Promoting and Protecting the Rights of Human Rights Defenders
- Conducting National Inquiries, including the Going Public DVD and a compilation of resource materials produced by the APF and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute.
Resources can be ordered by contacting the APF Secretariat: apf@asiapacificforum.net.
