Universal values that form the core of respect for human rights, but also the harmful consequences of discrimination of certain social groups, were presented at an online workshop for participants of the 14th generation of the Police Academy as part of the cooperation between the Police Academy and the Center for Civic Education (CGO).
At the second online workshop, the focus was on the human rights of marginalized groups, namely LGBT people, Roma and people with disabilities.
The workshop was led by the human rights program coordinator Tamara Milaš and the active citizenship program coordinator at the CGE Željka Ćetković.
The topic of the previous workshop, which was led by Tamara Milaš and the historian and adviser at the CGO, Miloš Vukanović, was the importance of the process of dealing with the past, with reference to the war crimes committed on the territory of Montenegro during the nineties.
During that lecture, the importance of determining responsibility at all levels was emphasized, and academics were also introduced to the principles of humanity and humanity during armed conflicts, which are bound by the Geneva and Hague Conventions, i.e. two key documents whose provisions must be respected during armed conflicts.
The last workshop within the program will cover torture and the right to human dignity, with the elaboration of positive and negative consequences of the application of police powers, treatment of detained persons, protection of witnesses.
The CGE believes that it is of great importance for future police officers that when performing police work, they are aware of how important it is to respect the human rights of every citizen without distinction.
