A/HRC/30/24 and materials culminated in a new human rights action plan, designed on orders of the Chief of Staff, covering education and training, awareness and advocacy, monitoring and response procedures, issuance of reference certificates and exposure to best practices. 47. As in the case of training for law enforcement officials, most States provide practical and participatory training for the military, taking into account the role and level of responsibility of the recipients. In 2014, Colombia adopted a standard human rights and humanitarian law teaching model for the military, structured on six levels and setting out learning according to the operational needs and levels of responsibility of the participants, using a methodology based on practice. Training scenarios are adopted from real situations and tactical training is combined with instruction in human rights and humanitarian law. At the end of each training session, learning is evaluated and adjustments made, where necessary. Colombia reported that the methods of instruction relating to international human rights and humanitarian law are specifically tailored to meet the needs of the armed forces in their current context. Honduras also highlighted the importance of educational methodology that makes use of the instruction goals used in military training for mission accomplishment. Switzerland has developed an interactive DVD, which contains practical cases aimed at consolidating the theory acquired in basic training and, in 2013, the Armed Forces Graduate School in the Dominican Republic organized a workshop to prepare a manual on the use of force for the Dominican Armed Forces. Japan has been reviewing and revising reference and training materials for the treatment of prisoners of war and, in 2014, Mexico revised its military doctrine on the use of force to make it compliant with international standards, with the technical support of its National Human Rights Commission, ICRC and OHCHR. 48. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Guinea, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia and Switzerland indicated that specialized human rights training is compulsory for military personnel who are being deployed abroad, including training on international humanitarian law, where peace missions are concerned. 49. While OHCHR and other United Nations entities, regional organizations, Governments, NGOs and national human rights institutions also assist in the provision of human rights training for the military, support from ICRC remains critical for many States, especially in respect of training on international humanitarian law. III. Conclusions and recommendations 50. The foregoing overview is witness to the impressive amount of activities undertaken by States to implement and support human rights education in higher education and human rights training for civil servants, law enforcement officials and the military during the second phase of the World Programme for Human Rights Education. Some of the initiatives had begun prior to the launch of the second phase of the World Programme or were framed under regional initiatives, such as the Arab plan to foster the culture of human rights education, endorsed by the Council of the League of Arab States, in 2010. One thing is certain, they all substantially further progress in human rights education and training in the target sectors. Furthermore, related recommendations made to States in the context of the universal periodic review seem to have had a significant impact in encouraging States to develop programmes and in encouraging States and organizations to offer support. 51. Of the 28 States which submitted information specifically for this report, some were able to make a solid evaluation of the activities carried out nationally to implement the second phase of the programme. Others provided details of individual training days, while still others indicated that developed plans had yet to be put into 14
