About the Fellowship Programme

 The Minorities Fellowship Programme (MFP) was launched by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in 2005.

The MFP is held annually and currently has two linguistic versions: The
English language programme has been running since 2005 and the Arabic
language programme started in 2007. The Arabic language component began
as a two-week pilot and gradually expanded to five weeks in 2011. The
duration of the programmes varied until 2011, when both programmes were
decided to last 5 weeks and coincide with the session of the Forum on
Minority Issues.

Through the MFP, the OHCHR aims to give persons belonging to national or
ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities an opportunity to gain
knowledge on the UN system and mechanisms dealing with international
human rights in general and minority rights in particular. The MFP is
intended to assist organizations and communities in protecting and
promoting the rights of minorities the fellows belong to. Continue reading →

The Project: The Use of Force Project is part of the Frontline Policing program of research within CEPS. The project aims to enhance our knowledge of police use of force policies and practices in Australia. The project, which commenced in late 2010, will gather data on policies, laws and practices in Australia (and overseas jurisdictions) governing use of force, It will conduct a longitudinal study of police attitudes to use of force in Australia, as well as examine the findings from significant inquiries, disciplinary hearings and inquests. The project will contribute to the existing body of knowledge in the field but also inform police training, national policies and guidelines. The project provides extensive opportunities for researchers to engage with industry partners (such as Queensland Police Service) who will provide data and other assistance. The research team in CEPS working on this project has a broad disciplinary background spanning criminology, sociology, psychology and law. The research team consists of Professors Simon Bronitt, Geoff Alpert and Phillip Stenning, and Senior Research Fellow, Dr Louise Porter and Research Assistant, Linzie Jones. Continue reading →
