Global Law Career Opportunities: International Law, International Human Rights, and International Criminal Law Many students are interested in pursuing internship, fellowship, or employment opportunities in the related fields of international law, international human rights or international criminal law. The Global Law Program has compiled these links to a number of organizations that work to advance these fields around the world. Some of the organizations are international organizations, others non-‐governmental organizations. Some focus exclusively on policy work, others work directly with clients. Some may have a very specific focus, such as assisting Rwandan refugees, others have a broader remit, such as advocating for migrant rights worldwide. Some have a strictly “legal” focus, others bring together multiple disciplines to advance their goals. There are hundreds of organizations involved in this type of endeavor, and this is by no means an exhaustive list. If you are interested in a career in international human rights, please contact the Global Law Program or Career Services for more information.
