• SPECIALIZED COURSE ON HUMAN RIGHTS FOR FIELD OFFICERS - Dates: 3 - 14 May 2010 (2 weeks) Place: International Institute of Humanitarian Law, Villa Ormond, Corso Cavallotti 113 Sanremo, Italy. Tel: + 39 0184541848; Fax: +39 0184 573982; E- mail: sanremo@iihl.o. Background: Abuse of human rights often leads to conflict, and conflict typically results in human rights violations. Violations of human rights are often at the centre of wars and repression of such violations is crucial to conflict resolution. During the last decade there has been an increasing number of peace operations deployed in areas of crisis where violations of human rights represent a dramatic and permanent threat. The troubled environment in which these operations take place and the developing and growing tasks to be performed by the field officers to protect and promote human rights highlight the need for appropriate training programmes.
