Human Rights Capacity Building for the Government of Egypt

For the second year running, UNICRI was delighted to be hosting the project “Human Rights Capacity Building in Egypt”, jointly organized by the Government of Egypt and the UNDP.

Through the organization of a series or Study Tours based at UNICRI's Headquarters in the United Nations Campus in Turin, the project aims to provide Egyptian law enforcers, judges, media professionals and NGO operators with a better understanding of human rights. The course gives special attention to the practical application of human rights in the fields of international cooperation, criminal investigations and criminal courts, prison administration, NGOs and the media.

The 10 day Study Tour programme features lectures and interactive workshops on human rights and the United Nations fundamental role in promoting their respect, along with a moot court and visits to a wide variety of national institutions including criminal courts, prisons and police stations.
