Pocketbook on Human Rights for Law Enforcement Officials

This revised edition of the Expanded Pocketbook forms part of OHCHR’s updated “Human Rights and Law Enforcement Guidance and Training Package”. The training package also includes a Manual on Human Rights Training for Law Enforcement Officials and a Training Guide on Human Rights for Law Enforcement Officials, in addition to presentation slides corresponding to each chapter of the Manual. The Expanded Pocketbook is designed to be a readily accessible and portable reference tool for law enforcement officials. It can be further tailored to a particular law enforcement agency’s local context. The international standards can, for example, be complemented with references to national law, internal policies or standard operating procedures. The Expanded Pocketbook contains hundreds of point-form standards and recommendations, organized according to law enforcement duties, functions and topics.
