1 REPORT Human Rights Reporting A comprehensive regional capacity development training for qualified professionals from Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Paramaribo, Republic of Suriname 8-12 December 2008

2 1. PROGRAMME OVERVIEW 1.1. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION The promotion of the respect for human rights, as stated in the Charter of the United Nations, is one of the essential purposes of the Organization. This commitment has guided the UN in its efforts towards setting and implementing standards in the area of international human rights. Reporting requirements under treaty provisions as well as under the Universal Periodic Review are an important means of monitoring the implementation of instruments that embody the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms. A crucial element for the proper functioning of the reporting process is the submission of timely and comprehensive reports by States Parties. In order to enhance a better understanding of human rights reporting mechanisms, the Government of the Republic of Suriname hosted a course on Human Rights Reporting, a comprehensive regional capacity development training for qualified professionals from Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). This training activity was organized and conducted by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice and Police of the Republic of Suriname, the Anton de Kom University of Suriname and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Suriname with the support of the Government of Turkey OBJECTIVES The Human Rights Reporting training activity had the following objectives: To provide participants with better insights for more effective and efficient reporting under the major international human rights instruments and according to the Universal Periodic Review mechanisms; To increase the capacity of national governments of the Caribbean Community in the preparation and submission of reports; To strengthen the ability of the national governments of the Caribbean Community to monitor and implement international human rights treaties in order to enhance the overall functioning of the reporting process; To provide a platform for an intensive exchange and sharing of information in the field of human rights reporting and to enhance the regional cooperation. 1
