2023/2024 Amnesty International Justice In Africa Fellowship
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 10 million people who campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all. We reach almost every country in the world. Amnesty’s aim is to put an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they’re denied.
Amnesty’s International Justice in Africa Fellowship Scheme aims to promote diversity of representation in the field of international justice by presenting an opportunity to young African professionals (early to mid-career practitioners and scholars) based in Africa to work on international justice issues and mechanisms. Chosen fellows will benefit from knowledge, skills and experience transfer, practical exposure to international justice spaces and forums, and the opportunity to engage and network with a variety of relevant actors and stakeholders in the international justice movement. Chosen fellows will partake in research, legal analysis, policy discourse and campaigning projects relating to international justice.
