The Model Legislative Provisions

The Model Legislative Provisions developed by UNOCT/UNCCT, IPU and UNODC aim to serve as a model for the review of existing laws and procedures related to victims of terrorism and to develop legislation where no legislation exists. The provisions will systematize and promote the exchange of information regarding existing good practices and will serve to draw attention to the urgency of taking concrete steps to protect, assist and support victims of terrorism. The Model Legislative Provisions offer guidance on the implementation of laws and procedures to support adaptation in different countries, as well as provide suggestions for formulating provisions based on various legal systems. Grounding Member States’ national comprehensive assistance plans in legislation will help to ensure that they are implemented and that the rights of victims of terrorism are protected by law.

Human Rights at International Borders: A Trainer’s Guide

International borders can be dangerous places for migrants, particularly for migrants in vulnerable situations. Border governance and the work of border officials are about ensuring the well-being of migrants and communities by upholding human rights and protecting the rule of law; they are often first responders in providing assistance and protection to people in vulnerable situations.

Developed collaboratively by OHCHR and the Office of Counter-Terrorism, this trainer’s guide draws on, and complements, the OHCHR . Accompanied by slide presentations and course materials this capacity-building tool seeks to support States and particularly border officials in adopting a human rights-based and gender-responsive approach to border governance.
