Le projet

The African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies (ACDHRS) is a Pan-African organisation, established in The Gambia in 1989. Since its inception, the Centre has been at the forefront in promoting and protecting human rights and democracy in Africa, through training, action-oriented research, publications and documentation. The Training Course on the Use of International Human Rights Procedures for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights in Africa is one of the main tools of ACDHRS to promote the use of international human rights instruments to protect human rights in Africa.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this Course is to build the capacities of young
human rights activists, on the use of regional and international
instruments and mechanisms to promote and protect human rights in Africa.
This Course anticipates that participants would gain the required
knowledge and skills to be able to advocate their governments and relevant
national, regional or global human rights institutions on issues regarding
all human rights in their countries, and also embark on human rights
education programmes.

The training course is conducted in both English and French with
simultaneous interpretations. The Course comprises general lectures,
debates, simulation sessions, round table discussions etc, which focus on
the African Human Rights System, the United Nations Human Rights System
and International Human Rights and Humanitarian Law.

Other relevant topics such as the African Union and the New Partnership
for African Development and what they hold for the African continent, as
well as the Human Rights aspects of HIV/AIDS in Africa, would also be
discussed.
