OSCE supports a three-day training seminar on the Paris Principles and human rights report writing

An OSCE-supported three-day training seminar on the Principles relating to the Status of National Institutions (Paris Principles, 1993) and human rights report writing was concluded on 5 November 2021. The event was organized by the OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan, in co-operation with National Center for Human Rights.

The event focused on the Paris Principles, the independence and effectiveness of the Ombudsperson, functions of a national human rights institution and its structure, and effective report writing and communication with media, civil society and the international community.

Some 13 participants representing the Institute of Legislation and Legal Information and the National Center for Human Rights attended. They discussed defining a target audience, key messaging and writing human rights reports. They also learned communications techniques.

The training seminar is part of the Programme Office’s efforts in supporting the host country in strengthening human rights and fundamental freedoms.
