The “Committee for Justice” has organized a specialized training program for a selected group of Sudanese human rights defenders. The program aims to enhance their capabilities in monitoring, documentation, and advocacy by applying best practices and international methodologies.
The two-day training, held on February 15-16 in Kampala, Uganda, provided participants with the necessary skills, tools, and knowledge to effectively monitor, document, and report human rights violations in accordance with international standards, particularly UN methodologies and fact-finding mission protocols.
– Day One Activities:
On the first day, participants received a general introduction to human rights principles, monitoring frameworks, and key international standards. Discussions covered international documentation standards and aligning documentation practices with UN-approved methodologies.
The training also explored fact-finding mechanisms, offering insights into UN investigative missions, their frameworks, and operational principles. Additionally, participants learned how to securely manage and analyze human rights violation data.
A key focus of the first day was field monitoring techniques in conflict settings, equipping participants with practical approaches for safely and effectively documenting violations in crisis environments.
Overall, the training aimed to bridge gaps in the capacities of Sudanese human rights defenders by equipping them with essential knowledge and tools for effective monitoring and documentation. This initiative contributes to strengthening accountability efforts and supporting human rights advocacy in Sudan.
