The United Nations Human Rights System 1 treaty]? Ask them to write down, individually, two short responses (which could be one word) to this question. c) Once everybody has written down their response, ask participants to move the paper on to the person next to them, who will be adding two responses different from that written on the paper they receive. This process is repeated until every participant at each table has written down two ideas or responses relating to the question. Allow between 45 seconds and 1 minute per participant to write down his or her responses. This means that a maximum of 5 minutes should be allocated if five participants are seated at each table (5 minutes). d) Then distribute to the tables the second sheet of paper you have previously prepared, containing the question: What are the challenges of ratification [specify the international human rights treaty]? Ask them once again to write down, individually, two short responses (which could be one word) to this question. Repeat c). TIP ÎÎAlternatively you can invite a representative of a neighbouring State party to the treaty relevant to the context of the training to share his or her country experiences of the treaty (i.e., benefits of being a State party and challenges). Allocate 5 minutes for the presentation, 20 minutes for discussion and 5 minutes for the session wrap-up. Step 3: Debrief and wrap-up  Duration 15 minutes a) Ask the last person who wrote on the sheet, at each of the five tables, to name some of the responses provided to both questions. Record and cluster the responses on a flipchart. b) Wrap-up the activity by presenting the results of the exercise to the group. TIP ÎÎThe recording and clustering of responses on the flipchart would ideally be done by a second facilitator. Step 4: Work in groups: developing a roadmap towards ratification  Duration 60 minutes Instructions (10 minutes) a) Divide participants into three groups and assign a working table to each group. Place on each working table one of the flipcharts you have previously prepared so that each group has a different topic to discuss (in all cases specifying the treaty), i.e. 1) who are the key actors to be brought on board for ratification?; 2) What are the key actions or measures to be undertaken prior to ratification?; 3) what key actions or measures should be undertaken after ratification. b) Explain to participants that everybody will discuss the three questions on the flipcharts of the three tables as they will be rotating to all the discussion tables, except for the assigned rapporteur who will remain at his or her table (preselected by you). Indicate that on arrival at new working tables the groups should be briefed by the relevant rapporteur on the main points of what has been previously discussed. Every group should then add new information to what has already been discussed. c) Stress that the role of the rapporteurs also includes an overall debriefing in plenary of the key points discussed and agreements reached at each table as the aim of the activity is to develop a roadmap towards ratification [specify the treaty]. 11
