Background
In the overall context of the Rule of Law and Human Rights Programme's training strategy for 2013, the OSCE Office in Baku (the Office), in co-operation with the Justice Academy of Azerbaijan, will assist the Justice Academy in increasing the number of qualified legal experts accredited as trainers of the Justice Academy. For this purpose the Office will organise a 'training of trainers' (TOT) for defence counsels (members of the Azerbaijani Collegium of Advocates) on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which will consist of two parts: 1) Training on the implementation of select articles of the ECHR, and 2) 'Training of trainers' on the methodology of teaching human rights. Following this TOT, a higher number of defence counsels will increase their teaching skills and will be placed on the Justice Academy's official roster as trainers.
The Office therefore requires the services of a duly qualified international expert well versed in theoretical and practical aspects of the ECHR and its practical application. The expert is expected to conduct both theoretical lectures and practical exercises in the framework of the Training on the implementation of select articles of the ECHR for defence counsels to be held on 16-21 December 2013.

3) Article 1 of Protocol 1: Protection of property.
The target group consisting of 15-20 prospective trainers will be divided into two groups. This training is a part of a larger 'training of trainers' and it will be organised in two sessions (for two groups): Group I -16-18 December, 2013; Group II -19-21 December, 2013
Each training session will cover all three topics, mentioned above. The expert is expected to fully prepare the agenda and the materials of the training sessions.
