IJRC offers trainings to organizations and groups on general and specific areas of international human rights protection. Training sessions are designed to build advocates’ capacity to incorporate relevant international legal standards into their public education and advocacy campaigns, and to enable them to effectively engage with regional and international human rights monitoring bodies and courts.
Trainings are tailored to the participants’ interests, experience, and goals. Please contact IJRC for further information or to schedule a training session.
