Bei der Juristischen Arbeitsgruppe können wir leider kein Praktikum anbieten. Nur in der Bundesgeschäftsstelle in Bonn und im Sektionsbüro in Berlin arbeiten hauptamtliche Mitarbeiter/innen, die ein Praktikum angemessen begleiten können. Auch im Internationalen Sekretariat in London ist ein Praktikum möglich.
Wenn Sie Interesse an einem Praktikum bei amnesty international Deutschland haben, wenden Sie sich direkt an das Sekretariat der deutschen Sektion. Besonders interessant ist die Möglichkeit für Jurastudent(inn)en, ihr Pflichtpraktikum in der Abteilung Länder und Asyl durchzuführen. Für Rechtsreferendare/-innen besteht die Möglichkeit, ihre Wahlstation abzuleisten.

International Law and Organizations Program (ILOP) Internship Program 6-monatiges Internship in London, Genf oder New York
The Aim of our internship program is: To provide work experience in an international human rights organization for individuals who intend to work within human rights in the future. Interns contribute to the work carried out by ILOP which is not solely academic in nature; all of the internships include some administrative tasks.
General information We publicize our internship program internationally and receive applications from all over the world. Selection is made on the basis of the application form, curriculum vitae and submitted written work. The application form attached explains these criteria in detail. Candidates are not formally interviewed.
Internships run for a period of six months, full-time, and are voluntary (unpaid). Return travel costs and insurance for the duration of the internship will be paid by ILOP. In addition to this a stipend to cover local travel expenses and lunch is also provided. All other costs associated with the internship (e.g. accommodation and living expenses) are to be covered by interns.
A background in law (particularly human rights law) or international relations is essential. Some knowledge of international human rights law or practice and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) would be an advantage.
The working language of AI is English. The other official AI languages are French, Spanish and Arabic. A very good level of written and spoken English is required for interns in all locations. A fluent level of written and spoken French is also required for Geneva.
Much of our work is computerized and interns must be willing to be trained to work with the available technology.
Interns are required to comply with AI's policy and rules relating to Health and Safety, Cultural Diversity and Equal Opportunities and with its security regulations.
Please note: An ILOP internship does not lead to employment with Amnesty International.
What is the International Law and Organizations Program? The International Law and Organizations Program (ILOP) campaigns against human rights violations at the United Nations (UN) and other intergovernmental organizations, and provides information and advice on international law and standards, especially human rights law. ILOP leads AI's work on the UN and regional intergovernmental organizations, such as the Council of Europe (CoE), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Organization of African Unity (OAU).
ILOP is responsible for the day-to-day relations with international organizations, both governmental and non-governmental, making submissions of AI information to intergovernmental organizations, and arranging participation in appropriate meetings. Via the permanent AI representatives in New York and Geneva, ILOP monitors international developments relevant to the work of the IS and the movement. It also mobilizes the worldwide AI membership to campaign on issues dealt with by international organizations. ILOP is structured in the following way:-
Senior Director's office: including the Senior Director, Program Director and ILOP Coordinator
Legal Advice branch: with five Legal advisers and three Assistant Advisers on International and Regional Organizations. Legal advisers give legal and political advice to the research and action teams in the Regional Programs, particularly on matters of international and national law. They are also involved in AI's thematic work at the UN, particularly the development of international law and standards; and lead AI's work on regional intergovernmental organizations. Assistant Advisers on International and Regional Organizations work principally on regional intergovernmental organizations, UN treaty bodies and thematic mechanisms and mobilizing AI membership action.
International Organizations (IO) branch: with two Advisers on International Organizations and one Assistant Adviser in London; one UN Representative and a Deputy-representative in of AI's UN office in Geneva and one Head of office and Representative; a Representative and a Deputy Representative in AI's UN office in New York. The IO branch leads AI's work on the UN and other global organizations, looking at our country work through the perspective of such global institutions. The New York and Geneva teams monitor and lobby at the meetings of the UN and other international bodies relevant to AI's work. New York's responsibilities include the UN Security Council and General Assembly.
Geneva's responsibilities include the UN Commission on Human Rights, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities.
International Justice Project (IJP): staffed by a legal adviser and an assistant legal adviser, the International Justice Project was established primarily to campaign against impunity. In this connection, it is campaigning for the prompt establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a permanent independent judicial body created by the international community of states to prosecute the gravest possible crimes under international law and for the enactment and implementation of effective universal jurisdiction legislation over war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and torture, strengthening the existing system of extradition and mutual legal assistance and other steps.
Desirable skills for interns in the IJP are a good knowledge of human rights and humanitarian law, familiarity with criminal law and procedure and a good reading knowledge of French and Spanish.
In addition to core staff, ILOP has three interns in London and one each in New York and Geneva, as well as other volunteer helpers.
