REPORTING TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS TREATY BODIES TRAINING GUIDE: Part I — Manual
Part II – the Notes for facilitators – closely
follows the structure of Part I. It has been
designed to assist facilitators in preparing
and delivering a training course on treaty
reporting, intended ideally for relatively small
groups of a maximum of 25 participants.
After two preliminary sections containing
suggestions for, respectively, planning a training
course and organizing its opening session,
Part II proposes interactive training sessions
covering the information contained in all the
chapters of Part I. A closing session is as well
proposed. The training sessions comprise a
viii
mix of computer slide presentations and
group activities, and include different training
components: facilitator’s notes, session plans,
power point presentations, videos, quizzes and
so forth. The sessions are based on the OHCHR
training methodology for human rights training.
This methodology is interactive and promotes
a participatory approach. It is important that
facilitators respect and use this approach to
encourage enriching discussions and exchange
of information and experience with and
between the participants.
