The Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice is seeking law or graduate
students with a strong background in international law and strong legal
research skills, and a good knowledge of the International Criminal
Court (ICC), for Spring and Summer 2013 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 a possibility.
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.
