The Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy (PCMLP) is inviting
applications for the 5th Media Law Advocates
Training Programme which will be held at
the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom from July 9 to 28, 2006
This intensive three week training programme in human rights and media law
with a focus on litigation and advocacy skills is run by PCMLP in
collaboration with the Open Society Justice Initiative (JI) and other
organisations.
The course is designed for lawyers from any country who
are interested in deepening their understanding of the various regional
and international human rights systems, focusing on the protection and
promotion of the exercise of the rights to freedom of expression and
information.
The aim of the programme is to add value and to capacitate those who are
trying to handle such issues day-to-day and whose work could benefit from
additional skills and knowledge.
Applicants should have a strong commitment to human rights, especially to
media freedom, a law degree, and eligibility for legal practice in his or
