A/HRC/14/26 independent and impartial judges are to be reached, it is necessary to further explore existing educational possibilities, projects and programmes. The report emphasizes that this problem should be tackled in two stages: first, a global thematic study should be carried out at the international level to assess the human rights education and continuing training of magistrates, judges, prosecutors, public defenders and lawyers. This would provide the scientific basis for a second stage, an international conference on the ways in which legal human rights education and training are to be provided. The Special Rapporteur considers that she may play a role in stimulating the creation of a network for the exchange of judicial experiences, particularly between countries from the North and countries from the South; and from the East and the West. It should also be useful to create an international database so as to give States access not only to technical assistance, but also to best practices and case law on which they can base their own practice. Human rights legal education should be provided using the latest training technologies, including interactive sessions, seminars and workshops. Collaboration with professionals from the education and technological sectors should also be investigated. Judicial human rights education, including continuous learning, should be designed in the broader context of judicial development strategies. The report also describes, in chapter II, the Special Rapporteur’s activities between August 2009 and February 2010, including country visits conducted during this period. In chapter IV, the report indicates the main recent developments in the area of international justice by looking at developments in cases before the International Criminal Court, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The Special Rapporteur’s conclusions and recommendations are presented in chapter V, which focuses on measures to be taken to strengthen the legal education and capacity-building of magistrates, judges, prosecutors, public defenders and international human rights lawyers. 2 GE.10-12622
