PEACERIGHTS

Are you a student interested in international humanitarian issues?
If so would you be interested in some paid employment or an internship?

Peacerights, a new NGO, established in September 2001 is looking for
students to help with its work. Peacerights is concerned with international
humanitarian issues of law both in the UK and around the world. Present
work and initiatives include:

… Cases in the High Court and Court of Appeal in the UK challenging the UK's
maintenance of a nuclear deterrent.

… A potential challenge to a UK government decision to allow the US to use
UK bases for missile defence.

… A complaint to the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of Trident
Ploughshares concerning the UK's nuclear deterrent.

… The organising of a conference in Nepal about the proliferation of nuclear
weapons in South Asia.

… A project concerning the use of law to help the peace process in Angola.

Peacerights are looking for students with relevant experience who wish to
work with us on these issues. A law degree would be helpful but not
essential. We are prepared to offer an internship to the right candidate.
We are also prepared to pay either for one off tasks to be completed or for
regular input over a period of time.
