Legal Project Volunteer
The Court of the Citizens of the World is a People's Tribunal championing universal human rights as defined by the United Nations. Recognizing the gaps in traditional global judicial systems, the tribunal acts as an independent body to address cases beyond the jurisdiction of official courts. It empowers victims and prosecutors to present charges against leaders and regimes that evade accountability for human rights violations. Established to counter the decline in democracy and universal human rights, the tribunal aims to deliver justice in cases often hindered by international legal barriers.
This is a full-time remote role for a Legal Project Volunteer. The Legal Volunteer will work on preparing legal documents, conducting research on relevant legal cases and precedents, providing legal consultations, and addressing legal issues related to human rights violations. Additionally, the individual will collaborate with a remote team, engaging in effective communication to support the tribunal's mission.
