From February 23-25, Nepal’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) carried out Forensic Games trainings for 25 human rights defenders, prosecutors, police investigators and medical doctors in Janakpur, Nepal. EPAF trained representatives from the NHRC to facilitate the Forensic Games course during a training-of-trainers workshop hosted in cooperation with the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABAROLI) in Kathmandu during June of last year. EPAF created the Forensic Games to empower the participants in its training programs around the world to share their knowledge with key actors involved in the investigation of cases of forced disappearances. Since December of last year, ABAROLI and NHRC have combined to train more than 100 Nepalese civil society actors, prosecutors and police investigators using the Forensic Games course. To date the Forensic Games has been translated into English, Spanish, French and Nepali and has been successfully used in training projects in Nepal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Philippines and Peru.
