The subject of human rights has risen rapidly on the oil and gas industry agenda. Recognizing the importance of this issue IPIECA members developed this Toolkit to raise awareness of human rights in the oil and gas industry. The Toolkit is targeted at country managers, asset managers, business managers, and other personnel that would benefit from learning about human rights issues and the way in which human rights issues have potential implications for oil and gas operations.

The Toolkit provides managers with a template that can be used and adapted to conform to a company's policy or position  on human rights and applicable domestic laws and regulations.  This Toolkit is not intended to be an in-depth instruction on how to conduct human rights training.

The Toolkit consists of four sections:

1. A presentation, which can be used during a training session. The presentation is designed for visual impact, providing the key messages.
    
2. A workbook that can be provided to the trainee to use during the training session and expands on the on the key messages in the presentation.  The workbook can stand alone and be kept by the trainee for future reference.
    
3. A trainer's manual covering how to make use of the Toolkit.
    
4. A reference manual with names of human rights documents and organizations and corresponding web links.
