A/HRC/20/20 building projects, including by bringing professionals and institutions together, thereby further disseminating human rights knowledge. IV. Recommendations 105. International human rights law capacity-building activities should be promoted and enhanced at all levels. 106. States should be encouraged to continue to support the capacity-building activities of magistrates and judges, as well as those addressing prosecution bodies and public prosecutors. Bar association efforts and the contribution of civil society institutions should also be encouraged and promoted. 107. Efforts by the United Nations to promote the application, at the domestic level, of international human rights law should be strengthened, as should efforts to promote women’s human rights and fight all forms of discrimination. 108. A needs assessment should be carried out prior to developing training programmes, including gathering data and information on attitudes and perceptions of the judiciary and a review of the international human rights treaties to which the State is a party. 109. The content of training courses should be developed in collaboration with their recipients. 110. The needs of different judicial actors – judges, magistrates, prosecutors, public legal defenders and lawyers – should be taken into account when developing training programmes. 111. Given that coordination and collaboration among international, regional and national judicial institutions and civil society organizations is essential, such collaboration among higher learning institution, such as universities or specialized institutes and centres, should be clearly defined and established. 112. Magistrates, judges, prosecutors, public defenders and lawyers should be requested to take courses on international human rights law. Ongoing legal education should be mandatory for judges, magistrates, prosecutors, public legal defenders and lawyers at all levels. Law and political and social sciences students could also be encouraged to follow such courses during their education. 113. A comprehensive approach aimed at supporting international human rights law capacity-building for judges, magistrates, prosecutors, public legal defenders and lawyers should be adopted. 114. Trainers and professors should have proven academic experience or practical experience in the field of human rights. 115. Case studies, problem-solving exercises and other adult learning techniques have proven successful, offering opportunities for judges to deepen their understanding of international human rights law as applied to domestic contexts. Focus should therefore be put on the implementation of international human rights law in practice and less on theoretical discussions. 116. Documenting and disseminating positive examples and good practices illustrating how judges and magistrates have used international human rights law and engaged the justice system are very important and should be encouraged. 26
