This list
comes from this project's analysis of the second annual U.S. government
Foreign Military Training Report, a document Congress
has required since 1999. The course descriptions, which are often vague
and sometimes missing entirely, are quoted directly from the report itself.
(As
of November 2000, the 2000 Foreign Military Training Report is available
at the State Department website at <http://www.state.gov/www/global/arms/fmtrain/toc.html>.
The texts of all course descriptions are located at the same site, at

"Phase
III is an executive program conducted (typically for the first time)
in the host country by a military education team comprised of faculty
members from the Defense Institute of International Legal Studies
(DIILS). It is designed for a mixed group of senior military officers,
civilian officials (including judges), legislators and staff, and
leaders of non-governmental organizations. The curriculum is tailored
to best meet the needs of the host country. A typical program will,
nevertheless, include as subjects: the role of the military in a democracy,
the law of war, rules of engagement, international legal constraints
on military operations, internationally recognized human rights as
a constraint on military operations, military justice, and civilian
criminal justice systems. Phase III employs lectures by DIILS faculty,
discussion groups, and case studies." |

Human Rights Trainer |
"Instructs
host country rights instructors in how to develop a curriculum for
Human Rights and Justice Systems and how to implement this training
in their country. The end product of this course is the framework
necessary to produce a curriculum that will be used in the host country
by the host country trainers. This course is conducted in two segments,
each one a week long. The first week concentrates on substantive subject
matter such as rule of law, military justice, human rights and government/press
relations. This is to ensure a uniform base of knowledge for all potential
instructors. The second week then devotes time to methods of instruction
and curriculum development. The student leaves with a well-rounded
background in the material, specific modules of instruction, and the
methods and skills to present the topics to his/her own military forces." |
