Global Campus of Human Rights: Online Course for International Electoral Observers. Enrolment until 15 January 2020.

The Global Campus launched its new Online Course for International Electoral Observers.

Open and legitimate elections are the indispensable foundation for sustainable development and an effective democracy. Actions supporting the right to participate in genuine elections can play a major role in sustaining peace, security and conflict prevention. This requires skilled and trained observers.

The Global Campus of Human Rights has developed a course aiming at providing training to civilian staff in election observation missions at the start of their career (i.e. short term observers). Selected applicants will become aware of the role, tasks and status of international observers, and will be given theoretical and practical training on election observation and election observation missions functioning. The course will introduce the participants to international election observation, history of electoral observation, international legal standards, observation methodology and missions functioning. It will also analyse the practical life of a short term observer from the selection procedure to the end of the mission.

The enrolment is open until 15 January 2021, and the course lasts from 22 to 27 February 2021.
