12 - 23 August, 2024
The 32nd Annual Human Rights and Peoples’ Diplomacy Training for Human Rights Defenders in the Asia-Pacific was held in Timor-Leste from 12 - 23 August, 2024 with the Global Campus of Human Rights, in partnership with the UNTL Human Rights Centre, Asian Forum for Human Rights and Development (FORUM-ASIA), the Pacific Islands Association of NGOs (PIANGO), Migrant Forum in Asia (MFA), Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP), and The Judicial System Monitoring Program (JSMP).
Twenty-eight human rights defenders from 14 different countries participated in this two-week intensive residential program of learning, sharing and skills building. The participants work on a diverse range of human rights concerns including rights of migrant workers, women and children, LGBTIQ+, gender justice, the rights of persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples rights, peace-building and struggles for self-determination, the environment and climate change.
The program built knowledge of international human rights standards and the UN system and skills in strategic advocacy. Similar to a summer school, the program included intensive sessions on human rights and development, advocacy and media skills. This year in a new collaboration with the Global Campus on Human Rights (GC), it also included a focus on peace and human rights.
DTP thanks its partners, its trainers for their pro bono contribution, the participants who shared their knowledge, and the funders – particularly the Australian Government, the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs - and the President of Timor-Leste.
The Diplomacy Training Program's 32nd Annual Human Rights and People's Diplomacy capacity building program receives support from the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
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.
