CfA: Human Rights Course in Estonia



Human Rights Course info

The Legal Information Centre for Human Rights (LICHR) is organizing a
local Human Rights Course in Tallinn, Estonia on 25-29 June. The
course is organized in a framework of the project “Promoting the
building of a democratic and civic society in the Estonian State
through human rights education” with financial support of the Royal
Netherlands Embassy in Helsinki.

The Legal Information Centre for Human Rights (LICHR) is a non-profit
and non-governmental organization based in Tallinn, established in
1994, whose main aim is to contribute to a constructive dialogue and
engage in active co-operation with both governmental and
non-governmental actors in the field of human rights in Estonia.

The aim of this human rights course is to provide and strengthen the
knowledge on international human rights law, standards and remedies.
The one-week course offers a great opportunity to become familiar with
Human Rights concepts and ideas.

The target group is the representatives of NGO’s active in the field
of human rights, representatives of State Institutions, lawyers and
students. The number of participants is limited to 25 and the working
language will be Russian.
   
Topics of the course will include the UN and European systems of human
rights protection, the role of OSCE in human rights protection,
ombudsman as a means of human rights protection and several other
topics presented by both Estonian and foreign experts. The course will
start with a general overview of the idea of human rights and continue
with more specific lectures.     

Two sessions are scheduled every day, in morning from 10.00 to 13.15
and in afternoon from 14.15 to 17.30, including breaks. The programme
includes theoretical lectures and practical working group and exchange
of experiences.
