REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part II — Notes for Facilitators
e) Stress that the role of the rapporteurs also includes an overall debriefing to the plenary on the key
points discussed at his or her table.
f) Tell participants that in general they should discuss, for each capacity:
üü How it is currently addressed within existing structures of reporting and follow-up; how it
could be addressed in future; and what structure or tools could be established, developed or
improved in that regard.
g) At each working table keep hand-outs and indicate to participants that the hand-outs contain
more specific guidance on issues that should be discussed. When rotating, they should leave
hand-outs at the respective tables.
h) Indicate that the total duration of this group activity is 60 minutes, divided as follows:
üü first round of discussion: 20 minutes;
üü second and third rounds of discussion: 15 minutes;
üü fourth round of discussion: 10 minutes.
i) Tell participants that you will be keeping track of the time and indicate to them when they need to
rotate to the next working table.
TIP
ÎÎIf you are short of time, you can reduce the discussion times as follows: 15, 15, 10 and
5 minutes respectively, for a total of 45 minutes.
Step 2: Debriefing and wrap-up
Duration 25 minutes
a) Tell each rapporteur that they will have 5 minutes each to debrief on the main outcomes at their
tables. Invite the first rapporteur to do so.
b) Before giving the floor to the next rapporteur, wrap up the first debriefing by showing participants
on the screen the relevant NMRF capacity checklist and complementing the ideas of the group as
needed.
c) Whenever possible also seek to reach agreement on what the group would work towards
improving in the future, ideally with a timeline and identifying a lead Ministry or NMRF member
responsible for seeing this improvement through (see step 1(d)).
d) This process is repeated until the four rapporteurs have debriefed the plenary.
TIP
ÎÎReaching such an agreement creates a road map for the future, which will facilitate
your follow-up to the training. Ensure that you and the participants have a copy of it.
ÎÎFor sub-regional or regional training, ask participants to write down on a piece of
paper what would work towards strengthening the NMRF (according to capacity) or
establishing the NMRF; and what they could do to bring about these improvements.
You can then open the floor to those participants who would like briefly to present
their commitments to the plenary. Allocate 30 minutes for this last activity.
