JUSTICE INITIATIVE FELLOWS PROGRAMME


The Open Society Justice Initiative invites lawyers and civil society activists from around the world to apply for the 2006-2008 Justice Initiative Fellows Programme, which is aimed at developing a global network of human rights advocates.

Applicants from Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Central and South America are eligible for the programme, which accepts up to 10 candidates. Applicants must be nominated and sponsored by a non-governmental human rights organisation from their home country.

The first year of the programme is spent at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, where Fellows will undertake a year of graduate studies in the Legal Studies Department's Human Rights Programme. During their stay at CEU, Fellows will also participate in a three-
month internship with a reputed non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Europe.
In the second year of the programme, Fellows return to their home countries where they spend at least one year working in human rights advocacy for their sponsoring NGO. Their work would include providing legal services, undertaking human rights litigation, and providing training and education.
