This course aims to assist peacekeeping personnel to promote the human rights and security of women and girls. It does so through lessons emphasizing the nature and scope of violence against women and girls around the globe, the connections between gender inequality and violence in both public and domestic spaces, as well as on interpersonal, community, national, regional, and international levels. Other lessons cover women’s rights as human rights and the international UN mandate to involve women in key roles within peacemaking and peacebuilding processes at every stage and every level of authority. Readings and case studies provide examples to assist peacekeeping personnel with considering how they, as individuals and as teams, can work to promote gender equality and to change the attitudes and behaviours that perpetuate violence.

Peace Operations Training Institute awards Javier I. Hoyos this Certificate of Completion for completing the course of instruction: Human Rights and Peacekeeping. Harvey J. Langholtz, Ph.D. Executive Director Peace Operations Training Institute 16 May 2017 Verify authenticity at http://www.peaceopstraining.org/verify Serial Number: 693763964 This course examines the cross-cutting principles and obligations concerning human rights within the specific context of armed conflicts and United Nations peace operations. Human rights is a dimension that transcends all phases and employs all components of a peace operation, leading to often complex implementation planning and coordination, which this course traces and delineates. The course begins by reviewing the landmark documents and instruments indispensable to the protection of human rights in theory, before demonstrating how such protection is enforced and performed on the ground. It discusses the various types of human rights violations, identifies the groups of people especially at risk, and conducts a thorough analysis on the concept of protection. The course contains important sections on human rights partners and on the process of accountability, which, as the course demonstrates, is essential in peace operations if an established peace is to be long-lasting and sustainable.

According to the World Health Organization, the Ebola outbreak currently affecting parts of West Africa is the most severe acute public health emergency in modern times. Cultivating an awareness of the disease and proper precautionary measures are necessary to protect mission staff from the illness. This course presents a compilation of World Health Organization materials on general information about Ebola Virus Disease, how the virus is spread, the symptoms and diagnosis, infection prevention techniques, possible treatments, and mission protocol.

Harvey J. Langholtz, Ph.D. Executive Director Peace Operations Training Institute 24 March 2017 Verify authenticity at http://www.peaceopstraining.org/verify Serial Number: 860771353 This course addresses the conceptual and operational issues involved in integrating a gender perspective into multidimensional peace operations. It describes the problems related to gender within contemporary armed conflict by contextualizing the evolution of gender relations within the history of world conflict. The course also explores many important concepts such as gender equity, gender balance, and gender equality, along with several underreported realities of conflict, such as sexual violence against males and sexual exploitation and abuse committed by UN peacekeepers. Invoking the various UN and non-UN instruments of human rights and gender equality, the course emphasizes the need for women to play a strategic role in all levels of decision-making in regional, national, and international institutes and mechanisms.

Langholtz, Ph.D. Executive Director Peace Operations Training Institute 18 February 2017 Verify authenticity at http://www.peaceopstraining.org/verify Serial Number: 41352616 This course prepares peacekeepers in all aspects of personal and professional security. Course author Marshall Wm. Conley, Ph.D., starts students on their journey by introducing them to the UN structure, specifically that of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), the Department of Safety and Security (DSS), and other offices designed specifically for the provision and maintenance of peacekeeping safety measures in the field. He explains the legal instruments that enforce peacekeepers’ privileges and responsibilities as they relate to the performance of their duty on behalf of the United Nations. Students then learn what measures they can take to enhance their own physical security – whether at home, in the office, or in the field – as well as that of their dependents, colleagues, and charges. First aid, mine field and improvised explosive device (IED) recognition, tips on what to look for in a home or office, and how to behave when you may be the target of hostility are all examples of these measures. Information security and communication and negotiation skills are just a few related topics that go into giving students the thorough understanding of security precautions that is so necessary while on Mission.

Topics include The Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Treaty (Ottawa MBT); mine action guidelines for ceasefires and peace agreements; landmine and ERW safety training; identifying landmines and ERW; International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and guidelines for application; victim assistance; mine risk education; UNICEF mine action strategy; mine information; mine action assessment; and the electronic mine action network E-MINE.
