Justice Rapid Response (JRR), UN Women and the Institute for International Criminal Investigations (IICI)

justice, gender and related experts on Investigating Cases of Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV)
as International Crimes which will be held from 5 to 11 December 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The goal of this training course is to increase the pool of experts that can be deployed rapidly to
participate in investigations into conflict-related sexual and gender-based crimes, as well as in projects
aiming at enhancing the capacity of humanitarian workers to refer SGBV cases to accountability
mechanisms. It is made possible thanks to a generous contribution from UN Women, European Union
and the government of Ireland.
This 7-day SGBV training course is specifically tailored for criminal justice and related professionals with
experience in dealing with SGBV, to prepare these professionals for investigations of SGBV crimes
involving multi-disciplinary, diverse monitoring and investigative teams that can be deployed rapidly and
with short reporting deadlines.
Candidates who successfully complete the training course become eligible for certification onto the JRR -
UN Women SGBV Justice Experts Roster, within the broader JRR Roster, in order to be available to assist
States, the United Nations and other international institutions with the jurisdiction to carry out
investigations into such crimes, as well as humanitarian responders working with survivors of conflictrelated
SGBV.
Please note that attendance in all sessions of the training course is a requirement to be
considered for certification to the JRR – UN Women SGBV Justice Experts Roster.
The deadline for nominations is 9 September 2016.
