UNITED KINGDOM: Summer school on protecting human rights through UN mechanisms

Summary: The focus throughout is practical and applied: the summer school gives participants an insider's understanding of the mechanisms and equips them with the tools to best use the UN system for the protection of human rights. The school devotes sessions to the human rights treaty bodies (the reporting and individual communications procedures), the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review procedure, special procedures (UN human rights special rapporteurs, etc.), and the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and its field presences.Owner: Human Rights Law Centre, School of Lawpdf: www.nottingham.ac.uk/hrlc/summerschool
