Details of Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) Vacancy Positions & How to Apply.

LAW is a unique non-profit network and think tank of human rights lawyers who provide creative legal assistance to individuals and communities who have suffered from human rights violations and abuses in fragile and conflict-affected areas. These people are those who often have the greatest need for protection and assistance but are also those who have the least access to legal resources. Most of the time, they do not know that legal assistance exists and often do not know what their options are for legal redress. Since its establishment, LAW has focused on regions experiencing conflict, such as the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, and on key themes, such as sexual violence and accountability for security forces. LAW’s activities are centred on four pillars: Strategic Casework: civil litigation, supporting criminal prosecutions, UN complaints or OECD complaints. Advocacy and Research: including high-level panels and production of reports with practical and implementable recommendations. Legal Assistance and Empowerment: to increase rights awareness and knowledge of legal avenues for redress. Legal Think Tank for Creative Lawyering: for innovative legal thinking and creating a cadre of human rights champions in conflict affected areas.
