also been provided to national authorities to conduct mapping and assessments of prison
facilities, such as the cartography of prisons in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

prison personnel on prison management.

International Labour Organization (ILO)

ILO provides training on a regular basis to familiarize national labour court judges,
legal professionals and legal educators with the key human rights principles of the ILO
Recommendation No. 200 (2010) concerning HIV and AIDS and the World of Work and to
promote implementation of its provisions. In 2011–2012, training on the key principles of
Recommendation No. 200 was provided to judges, lawyers and magistrates in Brazil,
China, India, Liberia and Senegal. In 2012, ILO trained labour judges and magistrates in
Cameroon and Senegal. In addition, an in-depth training course was held for 25 high-level
labour court judges from Botswana, Malawi, Nigeria and South Africa in the context of a
course focusing on gender equality and the application of international instruments,
including international labour standards. The training course also addressed the issue of
procedural safeguards that protect the rights of persons living with HIV.

International Organization for Migration (IOM)
25.
In order to improve and support the protection of the rights of migrants, IOM is
working closely with national Governments to strengthen their justice systems. In the
projects and programmes aimed at capacity building, IOM assists Governments in
developing and implementing migration legislation and procedures consistent with
applicable international and regional standards. The objective is to strengthen both the
capacity of Governments to govern migration more effectively and consistently with the
rule of law, and training in international law, including human rights, for those working
directly with migrants, such as police, judges, prosecutors and border management officials.
26.
In some areas, such as counter-trafficking, IOM provides technical cooperation
activities to build capacities of both government and civil society institutions to better
address the challenges posed by human trafficking. Relevant examples include, for
instance, Colombia, where IOM implemented a project named “Technical Assistance to the
Administrative Reparation Programme” with the goal of supporting the Government of
Colombia in carrying out a programme, which aims to assist victims of illegal armed
groups with compensation and provide them with ease of access to the reparation process.
In Guatemala, IOM has established a series of trainings on trafficking for more than 600
judges in Guatemala. Furthermore, IOM oversees a broader regional programme for
migrants in Mesoamerica. The initiative offers similar trainings for judges in Central
American countries and technical cooperation to Governments, and promotes dialogue,
exchange, and sharing of information and best practices.
27.
In Nicaragua, IOM implemented the “Supporting Regional Integration through
Improved Migration Management in Central America” project to combat and prevent
trafficking and support victims’ reintegration. In collaboration with the Anti-Trafficking
National Coalition, IOM also helps to prosecute traffickers and promote the participation of
an active community and private sector to strengthen the local network in order to defend
victims of trafficking and provides assistance for institutional capacity-building in
Nicaragua to ensure victims’ access to justice.
