A/HRC/30/24 United States of America, federal officials conduct targeted training sessions on human rights treaties for state and local officials. 26. The Ministries of Foreign Affairs in a number of States provide human rights training to diplomats and civilian experts departing on international missions (for example, Japan), as well as to other Government employees (for example, Switzerland). Human rights training is also mandatory for joining the diplomatic corps in some States (for example, Paraguay). 27. The many possible synergies between institutions within each State to assure human rights training for public servants has already been mentioned. Partnerships with the United Nations, regional organizations and NGOs as well as bilateral cooperation are also important avenues for human rights education and training. In Honduras, for example, the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development provided essential support for the needs assessment carried out in the sector, in 2012, and for the drawing up the National Programme of Justice, Human Rights and Peace Culture, which constituted the basis for all other plans and programmes. In Greece, the training of officials of the Ministry of the Interior and Administrative Reconstruction benefitted from the knowledge and expertise of other European countries in the context of the European Integration Fund. C. Human rights training for law enforcement officials 28. The basic training curriculum for cadets in police academies, colleges and agencies in many States now includes human rights as a subject (Algeria, Australia, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Mauritius, Monaco, Morocco, Republic of Korea, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Sudan, Turkey and United Arab Emirates, to mention a few). In Colombia, a 1993 law made international human rights and international humanitarian law training a policy for the National Police, stipulating that human rights must be included in all courses, taking into account the importance of civil servants’ responsibility for enforcing the law and protecting citizens’ rights and freedoms. Guinea is developing new modules for basic human rights training. While a lack of resources means that the Ministry of Security is not yet able to provide such training to all police units, it is already obligatory for civil protection units. In Slovenia, programmes and policies relating to the organization and work of the police must, by law, include the protection of human rights. Colombia mentioned that human rights were being mainstreamed into different policing procedures. 29. In a number of States, in-service training in human rights is necessary for promotion (for example, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Japan, Qatar and Romania), while in others, incentives, including remuneration, are given for such training (for example, in Slovenia). Several States referred to the updated training that police received on particularly pertinent issues and based on their respective levels. Continuous training, in particular for those deployed on United Nations and European Union missions, was mentioned by a number of States (for example, Romania and Slovenia). 30. The need for police human rights training to be practical was repeatedly stressed and, as Chile, Greece, Japan and Lithuania, in particular, reported, oriented towards issues that police officers could expect to encounter in their daily work. In that context, Morocco mentioned on-site visits to exchange experiences and on-going evaluation through outreach meetings. In Georgia, the Police Academy devotes special attention to teaching the legal basis for the use of force and to the acquisition of the relevant practical skills by future police officers, and every police officer has to undergo updated training periodically. In Japan, training sessions are held at police headquarters, police stations and other workplaces, as well as in police schools. In Germany, training is based on actual cases and concrete measures are discussed in the context of practical situations. In Poland, the police 9
