REFUGEE, MIGRANTS AND RACE INTERNSHIP AT HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

REFUGEE, MIGRANTS AND RACE INTERNSHIP AT HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH

The Human Rights Watch Refugee Policy Program is urgently seeking a law
or graduate student to intern in New York City for 2-3 months this
summer (starting as soon as possible, but no later than June 1.) The
intern will assist the Refugee Policy Director with preparing a paper on
refugees and migrants for submission to the United Nations World
Conference Against Racism, as well as with other research and general
administration tasks.

Candidates should have a solid knowledge of international affairs,
research experience and, preferably, experience working with refugees or
studying refugee policy.

The internship is unpaid. Unfortunately, HRW cannot offer assistance
arranging housing or visas. HRW internships offer direct exposure to
the workings of an international human rights organization, close
supervision by the HRW staff, interaction with other U.S. and
international organizations and foreign and domestic government
officials, and opportunities to attend lectures and special events
relating to human rights.

Human Rights Watch is dedicated to protecting the human rights of people
around the world. We investigate and expose human rights violations and
hold abusers accountable. We stand with victims and activists to bring
offenders to justice, to prevent discriminations, to uphold political
freedom and to protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime. We
challenge governments and rebel groups to end abusive practices and
respect international human rights law. We enlist the public and the
international community to support the cause of human rights for all.
