LIBERIA: Libera Launches Human Rights Education Baseline Study

The Liberian Independent National Commission on Human Rights (INCHR) has launched a project to conduct a Baseline Study for the Structural Provision of Human Rights Education to officers of the Liberia National Police (LNP).  The project was initiated at the LNP Training Academy. Representatives of the Ministry of Justice, as well as security personnel from the LNP, and heads of Human Rights Department of Education, Training and Information were in attendance.  Sara Greengrass, political officer at the United States Embassy in Monrovia was on hand to express the US government’s support for the project. She is quoted as saying, “Due to the need for the LNP authorities to develop courses on the respect for Human Rights and policing in a democratic society in its annual curriculum, [these exercises] are essential steps to improve the sector.”
