The Egmont Institute, under the auspices of EUTI – European Union Training Initiative, will hold EU Human Rights and Due Diligence Policy (HRDDP) Training.
The call for applications is now open.
This course supports the European Union’s commitment to ensuring compliance with international human rights and humanitarian law in crisis management. It is designed to help participants operationalize the 2024 EU HRDDP and the 2025 HRDDP Implementation Handbook through practical capacity-building and realistic scenarios. As such is closely related to the recently held Training of Trainers for Human Right Advisors (HRA): Mainstreaming Human Rights into Civilian Crisis Management Missions’ Internal and External Activities: using a HRBA approach.
Training dates: 8–10 June 2026
Training location: Hotel Barsey by Warwick, Brussels, Belgium
Target Group: Primarily personnel from CFSP/CSDP civilian and military missions and European Peace Facility (EPF) staff.
Capacity: Approximately 20 participants.
Priority: Given to Human Rights and Gender Advisors/Focal Points, though legal advisors and operations department colleagues are welcome.
The aim of the training is to strengthen participants’ ability to operationalize the EU HRDDP by applying Human Rights due diligence in realistic scenarios, thereby supporting more effective, conflict-sensitive, and accountable EU crisis management interventions while reducing the risk of human rights and IHL violations.
More information—including details on the participant mix, course modules, key learning outcomes, and logistical arrangements—is available in the call for applications.
