August, 2016
The workshop was organised in Dhaka by alumni of the Diplomacy Training Program and took place on August 26th, 2016. This was the first initiative of the DTP alumni in Bangladesh. There were 50 participants in the workshop, drawn from over 17 NGOs and CSOs working on a diverse range of human rights issues in Bangladesh.
Some of the participants and their organisations had previous experience of engaging with the UPR process, and with other human rights accountability processes. Others had no experience. While organisations focused on some civil and political rights, and the rights of Indigenous peoples have engaged with the UPR previously, the organisations for migrant workers had not.
One of the potential advantages of advocacy around the UPR process is that covers all human rights and that it creates a space for organisations working on different human rights issues to come together, and develop complementary strategies and approaches with a long term perspective.
DTP acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, the Bedegal people of the Eora Nation. We recognise their lands were never ceded, and we acknowledge their struggles for recognition and rights and pay our respects to the Elders – past, present – and the youth who are working towards a brighter tomorrow. This continent always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
