Geneva for Human Rights is a training organization.
Through training, study and protection, GHR aims to bridge the gap between international standards and realities and to empower all those involved in the promotion and protection of human rights.
Our Global Training Department conducts each year dozens of Courses and Seminars in Geneva and in the regions.
All GHR training activities are designed to contribute to Human Rights implementation in the countries. Moreover GHR has specific country programs.
Our Department of Human Rights Policy Studies monitors UN human rights meetings. It studies the main trends in the multilateral negotiations, and constitutes a basic support to our training activities. The department also convenes regularly experts seminars on priority issues for Human Rights defenders from the Regions.
GLOBAL TRAINING
GHR conducts Geneva Courses at each session of the Human Rights Council, and In-Country Courses in-between the Council’s sessions (on the proceedings and procedures of the Council and on implementation strategies in the countries).
Since December 2008, GHR also conduct training courses and briefings during each session of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review.
In-Country and In-Region Courses regularly take place in the field. They are prepared together with partner organizations, and focus on the mandates, proceedings and developments in the Council and its mechanisms, the special procedures, the UPR, the Treaty Bodies, and the strategies. These Courses address the specific local, national and regional situations.
IMPLEMENTATION
GHR has also a specific program to contribute to the realisation of human rights inside countries. Entitled ‘Strengthening national empowerment to facilitate the implementation of human rights at national level’, this programme’s main objective is, through training, mediation, advisory services and teaching strategies, to contribute to the national implementation process.
HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY STUDIES
The Department HPS constitutes the hard core of GHR activities. It is an indispensable support to our training programs. It monitors international human rights negotiations and covers U.N. human rights meetings; it analyses the main trends and developments and quickly inform our trainers and our main partners in the field.
GHR EXPERTS SEMINARS
To sensitize actors at the HR-Council on such issues, GHR has convened many Experts Seminars in Geneva: on Caste Discrimination (during the Durban Review Conference, April 2009), International Humanitarian Law (Sept 2010 and June 2011), Trends in the HR-Council (March 2011), Transitional Justice (Sept 2011), Minorities (Nov 2011), Enforced Disappearances (Nov 2012 and Nov 2013), Religious Freedom (Dec 2012), Human Rights and Business (June 2013) and the 20th anniversary of the World Conference (June 2013).
Origins and objectives
Geneva for Human Rights – Global Training (GHR) is an International training Association under Swiss law (in conformity with articles 60 et al. of the Swiss Civil Code). It obtained tax exemption status from the State of Geneva and Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC). Its Secretariat is based in Geneva.
Our vision
Since 1948, the international community adopted numerous human rights declarations and conventions and created dozens of monitoring mechanisms and procedures. In the field, victims, witnesses, human rights organisations and defenders working under difficult conditions, all demand implementation of these international standards. Massive human rights abuses persist around the world. Indeed, there is still a gap between the standards of the United Nations (UN) and the follow-up of their decisions.
It is time for implementation. And this has to be done by the country itself, which implies a need to develop national capacities.
Our objectives
Geneva for Human Rights – Global Training (GHR) is a training organization. Through training, study and protection, GHR aims to bridge this gap and to empower all those involved in the promotion and protection of human rights.
