Nonetheless, delivering training on a subject matter which is frequently misunderstood as a contradiction with police function is not an easy task for the police trainers. Thus, SUHAKAM has taken the step to develop a human rights module for the police as a guide for police trainers delivering the human rights course and to ensure the content of the training delivered is standardised. The module would include the following contents: Module 1: Module 2: Module 3: Module 4: Module 5: Introduction to the Human Rights Concept Human Rights of the Police Personnel Human Rights and Policing The Application of Human Rights Principles in Police Investigation The Prohibition of Torture and Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment Module 6: Human Rights Issues Relevant to the Police SUHAKAM would organise a workshop next year to involve the police in finalising the module. c) Human Rights Module for Educators SUHAKAM established strong collaboration with the Institute of Teacher Education Malaysia (IPGM) since 2018. In 2019, IPGM proposed to SUHAKAM to develop a human rights module for the students of Institute of Teacher Education (IPG) throughout Malaysia. The main objective of the said module is to equip the IPG students with adequate human rights knowledge and later to apply the knowledge while carrying out their duties as teachers, once they have graduated from IPG. SUHAKAM was assisted by five lecturers appointed by IPGM to ensure the content of the module serves the needs of IPG students and relates to their responsibility as a future-teacher. The module is expected to be completed by end of 2021. The draft outline of the module is as follows: Chapter 1: Chapter 2: Chapter 3: Chapter 4: Introduction to Human Rights Human Rights in the context of Malaysia The Rights of the Child Introduction to the Human Rights Best Practices (ATHAM) in School Programme Apart from the module, SUHAKAM was also invited to the Workshop on the Review of IPG’s syllabus on 3 March at the International Languages Campus, Institute of Teacher Education. At the workshop, SUHAKAM had proposed several human rights topics to be included in the IPG’s syllabus. 6 ANNUAL REPORT 2020
