29th Annual Human Rights and People’s Diplomacy Training for 

Human Rights Defenders from the Asia-Pacific Region

August-September 2019, Timor-Leste

Call for Applications

 

Application closes April 30, 2019

 

The  <http://dtp.unsw.edu.au/> Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) is calling
for applications for its 29th Annual Human Rights and People’s Diplomacy
Training Program for Human Rights Defenders from the Asia-Pacific Region and
Indigenous Australia. 

This annual, comprehensive human rights and advocacy training course is the
longest established human rights training program held in the region. It
builds knowledge of international human rights standards and the UN system
and skills in strategic advocacy. There are intensive sessions on human
rights and development, advocacy and media skills. 

The program will build practical links between advocates in Timor-Leste and
the region.  It will focus on advocacy to address challenges including
violence against women, land-grabbing and forced displacements, freedom of
religion and freedom of association, the rights of migrant workers and of
Indigenous peoples, transitional justice, protecting human rights in
repressive and authoritarian environments and integrating human rights into
the sustainable development goals.

The course will be held in Timor-Leste, home of DTP’s Patron and Founder,
the Nobel Peace Laureate and former President, José Ramos-Horta as it
celebrates the 20th anniversary of its vote for independence. The vote was a
remarkable achievement, made possible through effective international
solidarity, including with Indonesia’s democracy movement and skilful
advocacy using international law and mechanisms.
