Geneva Academy
The Geneva Human Rights Platform (GHRP) Training Hub organizes training courses – in Geneva and online – on the work of United Nations (UN) human rights mechanisms and on specific human rights issues like the protection of human rights and the environment or human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals. It also provides customized training courses for international organizations, NGOs, governments, or National Human Rights Institutions.
Relying on our wide network of international experts and practitioners, both formulas provide participants with practical knowledge and insight into the functioning of UN human rights mechanisms.
A combination of theory and practical exercises conducted under the guidance of our lead trainers allows participants to put to test the knowledge acquired in order to enhance their future participation and engagement with the Geneva-based human rights mechanisms.
All participants in our training course have access – ahead, during and following their course – to a dedicated community platform (on Mighty Network). This community brings together all the participants of our courses who have unlimited access to the training materials and resources shared during the course and can exchange with all the GHRP Training Hub alumni.
Attending the one-week training course on international human rights standards and system has been an invaluable experience for my role as a Human Rights Adviser at the Danish Institute for Human Rights. This programme's comprehensive and practical approach, featuring experts from OHCHR, UN agencies, civil society, National Human Rights Institutions, and UN treaty bodies provided a well-rounded view of the international human rights system. Witnessing live sessions like the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) adoption session and the UN Human Rights Committee's review of Palestine offered invaluable insights. Moreover, the training included hands-on exercises that allowed us to apply our knowledge in practical scenarios. In summary, this training course is essential for human rights professionals seeking a deeper understanding of international human rights standards and their real-world application.
