About This Course:
This five-day course is designed to bring together practitioners and educators from regional contexts to share lessons learned from the field, and affirm key principles and best practices for accountability. This Intensive Course seeks to build, gradually expand, strengthen and support local, national, and regional experts and the organizations they represent, so that they can lead initiatives around accountability, justice, and victims’ rights in the decades to come.
This intensive course will consider different experiences in Asia and look at how human rights mechanisms may contribute to the pursuit of accountability for mass violations. AJAR will invite practitioners from the field to serve as resource persons to share their concrete experiences of working in difficult transitions.

About AJAR:
Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR) is a non-profit organization, based in Jakarta, Indonesia, whose aim is to contribute to the strengthening of human rights and the alleviation of entrenched impunity in the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that a lack of information leads to prejudice and apathy, and education is the key to transformation. The AJAR Learning Centre was established in 2009 as a reflection and learning space for grassroots communities and their leaders to develop capacities, mark progress to build peace, improve lives, and rebuild communities broken by conflict.
We believe that experts and practitioners are not created in one or two trainings, but through years of experience and learning. This process can be supported by:
- offering intensive sessions of learning with input from international and national experts;
- focused analysis;
- strategy-building skills;
- South-South exchanges, including lessons learned, particularly among participants from the same region; and by
- developing ongoing national, regional, and international linkages.
