Idealist.org - Jobs: GuantÃ¡namo Global Justice Initiative Education and Outreach Associate 2009-07-02

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a progressive legal and educational organization, seeks a full-time Education and Outreach (E&O) Associate for its GuantÃ¡namo Global Justice Initiative (GGJI). The GuantÃ¡namo Global Justice Initiative at CCR resulted from the Supreme Court victory in Rasul v. Bush in June of 2004 which affirmed the right of men detained at GuantÃ¡namo to challenge their detention. Since then, CCR has recruited and trained hundreds of attorneys from across the country and secured habeas representation in federal court for the vast majority of the men imprisoned in GuantÃ¡namo Bay. CCR has been a leader in both coordinating this effort and in implementing the litigation, international advocacy and public education strategies for this human rights movement. On January 22, 2009, President Barack H. Obama signed an Executive Order to close GuantÃ¡namo Bay by January 22, 2010. While CCR welcomed this executive policy shift, it did not resolve the many legal and political issues raised by U.S. practices. First, work still needs to be done at GuantÃ¡namo itself. CCR is committed to ensuring that the men who remain are treated humanely and safely repatriated to their home country or resettled in a safe third country if they are at risk for torture or persecution at home. Second, we continue to work to ensure that GuantÃ¡namo is not replaced with a new regime of detention without trial in the United States or proxy detention in other countries. Third, we continue to fight against new proposals for interrogation, detention and rendition practices that violate U.S. and international law. Finally, CCR is still heavily involved in the coordination and litigation of the over 100 habeas cases proceeding in the DC District Court challenging the unlawful detention of those who have been detained now for over seven years in GuantÃ¡namo Bay without charge. The GuantÃ¡namo team at CCR consists of four attorneys, one E&O associate, and three legal workers. The Education and Outreach Associate will provide non-litigation support to the legal team by participating in work related to the safe repatriation and resettlement of the men who remain detained in GuantÃ¡namo, developing strategic non-litigation approaches to client advocacy and public education, exporting CCR expertise on GuantÃ¡namo-related issues to lawmakers and public policy experts, and developing reports and other materials for use in legislative advocacy, and campaigns. As the GuantÃ¡namo facility closes, CCR will continue to challenge torture, rendition and unlawful detention. As that happens, we expect that staff in the GGJI will have the opportunity to either continue work related to global detentions and human rights, or move into other docket areas of the Center based on their interests and the needs of the organization. Job Responsibilities: * In coordination with CCR attorneys, proactively advocate for repatriation and resettlement of men detained in GuantÃ¡namo before U.S. and foreign governments and international agencies * Track policy and legislative developments that will impact CCR’s GuantÃ¡namo clients; develop and implement advocacy strategies * Provide strategic leadership and coordination with NGO’s, government agencies and habeas counsel about legislative developments, in particular regarding preventive detention * Initiate, write, edit, and participate in collective writing/editing/review of advocacy reports regarding GuantÃ¡namo, global detention, torture and accountability * Develop and write action alerts calling on supporters to advocate on issues specifically related to resettlement and repatriation, Congressional and Obama Administration actions, and other relevant issues * Write and produce fact sheets about GuantÃ¡namo, global detention and accountability * Update CCR website on GuantÃ¡namo-related issues and developments (non-legal) * Respond to requests for speakers from GuantÃ¡namo team for public events

Since 2007 Human Rights First has been offering two year, fully funded fellowships named in honor of Robert Pennoyer. Mr. Pennoyer has been a tireless advocate for human rights – in official capacities as well as behind the scenes - for more than 50 years. Through the generous contributions of his friends and family Human Rights First is able to offer these opportunities for talented professionals. This year Human Rights First seeks a Pennoyer Fellow/Senior Associate in the Refugee Protection program in our Washington D.C. office (preferable). Working under the supervision of the Director of the Refugee Protection program, this person will play a key role in formulating and achieving program goals and objectives relating to international refugee advocacy, with a primary focus currently on refugees from Iraq. He or she will also help to identify emerging opportunities for engagement by the Refugee Protection program in additional international refugee issues. Over the next year, the program’s advocacy relating to the protection of Iraqi refugees is planned to improve monitoring and other mechanisms to help protect returning refugees and displaced persons, and advance the protection of Iraqi refugees living in Jordan and Syria. Working with the Refugee Protection Program Director, the program’s advocacy counsel and others, the Pennoyer Fellow will develop and carry out projects and activities to advance the program’s objectives. Primary Responsibilities: • Working with the Refugee Protection Program Director and other staff, identify advocacy objectives and help design and implement results-oriented advocacy strategies to advance those objectives, including an annual plan of activities for achieving those objectives as well as an annual team and personal work plan. • Monitor and identify new trends and developments regarding persecution in Iraq, displacement, return, human rights and protection issues in countries of first asylum. • Design and conduct original, policy-oriented field research to advance program objectives, investigating key human rights and protection problems faced by Iraqi refugees, and, over the next year, problems facing returning refugees and internally displaced persons in Iraq. • Analyze policies and practices related to Iraqi refugees by the U.S. government, the UNHCR and other governments and develop specific practical recommendations for these entities to improve protection and guarantee the rights of Iraqi refugees. • Draft short policy papers, blueprints, reports and other written materials to advance advocacy objectives and educate the public and policymakers. • Engage with U.S. government officials, congressional offices, representatives of UNHCR, IOM and other international organizations, other governments, as well as other advocacy targets, allies and/or colleagues to keep apprised of developments and advance advocacy objectives. • Working with others at Human Rights First, develop strategies and implement plans to advance advocacy objectives, including through congressional action, administrative action and advocacy with international organizations, key governments and other targets, as well as media engagement. • Identify and develop working relationships with a number of Iraqi human rights defenders working to advance similar objectives on behalf of refugees and IDPs, and amplify their voices through appropriate strategies. • Serve as a public spokesperson for Human Rights First on issues related to Iraqi displacement and refugee protection to a variety of professional and general audiences, including the press; and work with the communications team to develop other media in support of the project’s advocacy objectives. • Help to identify emerging opportunities for exploration and engagement by the Refugee Protection program. • Assist in funding development and foundation reporting efforts.
