Tactical Notebooks, United States of America
notebook: The Power of Place: How historic sites can engage citizens in human rights issues
In this notebook we learn about how museums are innovating ways to keep history alive so that the public can remember and talk about what happened in the past. The International Coalition of Historic Site Museums transforms places of passive learning into places of active citizenship and engagement.
notebook: Side by Side: Protecting and encouraging threatened activists with unarmed international accompaniment
In this notebook we learn about how an international organization called Peace Brigade protects targeted organizations by sending accompaniment of international field workers. This accompaniment allows these organizations to continue to fight human rights abuses while making it harder for governments to target them because of the international presence.
notebook: Reparations
In this notebook we learn how civil laws can be used to hold torturers
and other human rights abusers accountable, and to gain reparations for
survivors.
notebook: Recipe for Dialogue
This notebook describes how two US nongovernmental organizations developed training to increase the capacity of companies to build more effective relationships with indigenous peoples. First Peoples Worldwide and Business for Social Responsibility sought to bring the rights of indigenous peoples to the forefront and encourage businesses to do the same.
notebook: Familiar Tools, Emerging Issues
Minnesota Advocates for Human Rights uses traditional human rights
monitoring methods to document human rights abuses, but in this
notebook we will learn how the group has also made a practice of
adapting this methodology to emerging human rights issues. Minnesota
Advocates has identified and developed practical and sustainable
strategies for adapting human rights monitoring methods to address
domestic violence (in Eastern Europe and the U.S.), child survival (in
Mexico, Uganda and the U.S.) and transitional justice (in Peru).
