NOTE TO USERS OF THE TRAINER’S GUIDE
This Trainer’s Guide is one component of a three-part package of
materials for human rights training for police. The police training package also includes a training Manual and a Pocket Book of human rights
standards for police. The three components of the package are designed
to complement each other and, taken together, provide all necessary elements for the conduct of human rights training programmes for law
enforcement officials in accordance with the approach developed by the
Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The Manual (component one of the package) provides in-depth
information on sources, systems and standards for human rights in law
enforcement, together with practical guidance and annexed international instruments.
This Trainer’s Guide (component two of the package) provides
session outlines on a full range of human rights topics, group exercises,
instructions and tips for trainers, and a number of training tools, such as
overhead transparencies, to be used in concert with the Manual in conducting police training courses.
The Pocket Book of standards (component three of the package) is
designed to be a readily accessible and portable reference for law
enforcement officers. It contains hundreds of point-form standards,
organized according to police duties, functions and topics.
Users interested in obtaining copies of the Manual and the Pocket
Book or further copies of this Trainer’s Guide should contact the Office
of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
