Training and educational material
The Guide Series was launched in 2001 with a United Nations
Guide for Indigenous Peoples – an information set for indigenous peoples
on United Nations operations and procedures. The second publication
in the series is the United Nations Guide for Minorities, which
consists of 14 pamphlets indicating how minorities can use United Nations
human rights procedures and those established by regional mechanisms.
The Professional Training Series consists of handbooks and manuals
intended to increase awareness of international standards and is directed
at target audiences selected for their ability to influence the human
rights situation at the national level. Although primarily designed to
support the training activities of the Technical Cooperation Programme
of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights,
these publications also serve as practical tools for organizations that
provide human rights education to professional groups.
The training manuals issued in the Professional Training Series are,
by design, adaptable to the needs and experience, in terms of culture,
education and history, of a range of potential audiences within the target
group. Where appropriate, information on effective pedagogical techniques
is included to assist trainers in using the manuals as effectively as
possible.
Each manual or handbook is prepared with the assistance of experts in
the relevant fields and is subject to extensive external review and appraisal.
Where appropriate, manuals or handbooks are tested in training sessions
prior to their finalization.
The Series on the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education
(1995-2004) consists of materials aimed at supporting general human
rights education efforts by all partners; it includes information on the
Decade, a compilation of provisions of international and regional instruments
dealing with human rights education, and a practical booklet to support
human rights education activities in the school system.
The following guide, training and educational series are accessible online.
