LOCATION     Geneva

JOB PURPOSE

The Advocate contributes to the advocacy work of the Programme so that Amnesty International's human rights research, advocacy positions, concerns and recommendations are effectively promoted with United Nations (UN) experts, states and other relevant actors in selected intergovernmental (IGO) forums and thereby enabling effective follow-through and implementation. It includes operationalising advocacy strategy with relevant IGOs, providing advice, drafting and coordinating submissions and briefings, and establishing productive working relations with Amnesty staff and membership.

 

DEPARTMENT PURPOSE

The International Advocacy Team is part of the Research and Advocacy Programme, which sits in the Research, Advocacy and Policy (RAP) Directorate. This Programme's purpose is to achieve two inter-related objectives: leading and coordinating Amnesty International's advocacy engagements and strengthening the organization's capacity to conduct investigative human rights research and produce high quality outputs. The Programme brings integration and synergy between Amnesty's advocacy and research functions to achieve human rights impact and to ensure the organization's research is informed by advocacy strategies and vice versa. 

The purpose of Amnesty's work with the UN and other IGOs is to ensure that our positions, concerns and recommendations are effectively communicated to IGO actors and are reflected in their actions and decisions. This work is led by the International Advocacy Team and falls into three main categories:

  • To promote the development, adoption and implementation of international human rights norms and standards that will contribute to ending, redressing and preventing human rights violations; and
  • To help build the most effective international bodies, structures, and processes to prevent, address and end human rights violations.

 

AIIS PURPOSE

The IS, which operates from a number of sites around the world, gathers and communicates accurate and action-oriented human rights information globally.  We campaign for meaningful human rights change; enable effective human rights activism and work to persuade governments and other actors to uphold universal human rights standards.  We provide strategic leadership, support and advice to the Amnesty movement globally, fostering Amnesty's contribution, presence and public accountability throughout the world.
