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.
