The Diplomacy Training Program – Making a Difference

The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) is an independent NGO which seeks to advance human rights and empower civil society in the Asia Pacific region through quality education and training, and the building of skills and capacity in non-governmental organisations and for individual human rights defenders and community advocates.

The DTP was founded in 1989 by HE José Ramos-Horta, 1996 Nobel Peace Laureate and current President of Timor-Leste, and Emeritus Professor Garth Nettheim. Since January 1990, the DTP has conducted an 'Annual Regional Human Rights and Peoples’ Diplomacy Training Program'. This three week program has been hosted in Australia, Timor Leste, Thailand, the Philippines, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Nepal and New Zealand. Since 2003, the Diplomacy Training Program has also conducted shorter, specialised, thematic training programs in Australia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines and Fiji. DTP also occasionally conducts specialised programs in response to a particular issue or to assist a specific community, in addition to occasional country-specific training when requested.

For a comprehensive overview of DTP and our human rights efforts in Australia and the region, please read our 2011 Annual Report.

The Fred Hollows Foundation recently published an evaluation sharing the outcome of the Indigenous Peoples, Human Rights and Advocacy training program for remote Indigenous participants: "Making Things Happen".

A recent visit from DTP's Founder and Patron, Jose Ramos-Horta, saw him promote DTP and Human Rights in Australia, and included an opinion piece regarding Human Rights, Democracy and Australia's bid for a place on the UN Security Council.
