General Police and Human Rights Training in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

From 24-27th of October 2017, colleagues coming from and/or working on a great variety of countries attended a police-and-human-rights training in Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Participants included colleagues from AI USA, AI Belgium, as well as researchers and campaigners from the International Secretariat, the Nigeria National Office, the regional offices in Tunis, Mexico and Peru, as well as the office in Jerusalem. The diversity of participants and the varying human rights issues participants were and are dealing with in relation to policing allowed intense discussions and productive exchange from different perspectives. While trainings in regional or national offices will continue to take place, it is intended to carry out at least one international training a year in The Netherlands.
