The UN Human Rights Policy Network (HuriTALK) is a virtual network which facilitates dialogue among UN practitioners on how to best integrate human rights in their work. Through the exchange of information, good practice and lessons learned, members develop their knowledge on current and emerging human rights issues as well as their capacity to integrate human rights-based approaches (HRBA) in their work. The network currently has a membership of over 1,200 practitioners from more than 12 UN entities, and serves as a valuable practical tool for translating the UN’s commitment to mainstream human rights into all aspects of its work, system-wide. Click here to learn more about HuriTalk products and services, while to join the HuriTALK network, please e-mail: humanrights-talk@groups.undp.org
Below you can find examples of consolidated replies and resources which have been circulated on the HuriTALK network. (A database of resources on Human Rights which will house HuriTALK discussion archives, resources and tools, good practice and lessons learned, and expert referrals is currently in development). |
