A/HRC/15/28 II. The second phase (2010-2014) of the World Programme for Human Rights Education: a plan of action for human rights education in higher education and for human rights training for civil servants, law enforcement officials and the military A. Scope 10. The first phase (2005-2009) of the World Programme was dedicated to the integration of human rights education in the primary and secondary school systems. A related plan of action was adopted by the General Assembly in July 2005. 4 11. According to Human Rights Council resolution 12/4, the second phase of the World Programme (2010-2014) will focus “on human rights education for higher education and on human rights training programmes for teachers and educators, civil servants, law enforcement officials and military personnel at all levels” and “Member States should also continue the implementation of human rights education in primary and secondary school systems”. 12. The plan of action focuses on human rights education in two broadly-defined sectors, i.e. higher education and training for civil servants, law enforcement officials and the military. 13. With regard to training for teachers, 5 strategies to address primary and secondary school teachers are already covered in the plan of action for the first phase of the World Programme. Higher education teaching personnel, 6 sometimes also defined as teachers, are dealt with in the higher education section of this plan of action. 14. “Educators” is a broad definition used to refer to people who design, develop, implement and evaluate human rights education activities and programmes in formal, informal and non-formal education settings. Whilst the plan of action does not have a specific section on human rights training for such a wide range of educators, principles and strategies related to the higher-education teaching personnel would also be applicable by analogy. B. Specific objectives 15. In view of the overall objectives of the World Programme for Human Rights Education (see section I.B above), the present plan of action aims to achieve the following specific objectives: 4 5 6 General Assembly document A/59/525/Rev.1, Revised draft plan of action for the first phase of the World Programme for Human Rights Education , available at: http://www2.ohchr.org/english/issues/education/training/planaction.htm . “The word ‘teachers’ covers all those persons in schools who are responsible for the education of pupils”, UNESCO recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers (1966), section I, definitions, para. 1 (a). “‘Higher-education teaching personnel’ means all those persons in institutions or programmes of higher education who are engaged to teach and/or to undertake scholarship and/or to undertake research and/or to provide educational services to students or to the community at large”, UNESCO recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel, 1997, section I, definitions, para. 1 (f). 7
