emphasises cross-learning among participants and practical exercises to
apply what they have learned throughout. While contributing their own
experience, participants will also be allocated materials for a case study
to prepare for discussion. Advance reading will cover the international
legal framework for justice sector reform (both civil and criminal) as well
as human rights based approaches.
The programme is aimed at justice sector professionals in developing and
industrialised countries, as well as international field missions: state,
