The
Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is seeking law students in the
final years of their degree, graduate students, and law graduates, with a
strong background in international law and strong legal research
skills, and a good knowledge of the International Criminal Court (ICC),
for Fall 2014 legal internships.
The internship requires fluency in written and spoken English;
additional French language skills are strongly preferred. The legal
internship is full-time; however, for exceptional candidates based in
the Netherlands, part-time internships may also be possible.
Legal
interns will make an essential contribution to the work of the Legal
Team. Tasks may include: monitoring, summarising, and analysing filings,
decisions, and proceedings of the ICC; research projects on the work of
the Court and issues of gender and international criminal law;
contributions to our events and program work; English/French
translations; and some administrative work. The legal internship will
provide an excellent opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge about the
work of the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice and the work of the
ICC.
This is an unpaid internship based in our Hague office.
