Human Rights Handbook for Local and Regional Authorities Vol.1

This handbook is the outcome of a collective discussion in the Expert Group on Human Rights at the Local Level, chaired by Congress Spokesperson Harald Bergmann. The handbook explains what a human rights approach to government should look like: knowing your obligations as a public authority but also tackling issues and problems from a human rights perspective. It focuses on three groups: refugees, asylum seekers, migrants and IDPs; Roma and Travellers; and LGBTI people. 
The handbook is available here
