International Center for Transitional Justice
Outline of the organisation
The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) has offices throughout the world and is headquartered in New York City. ICTJ works for justice in countries that have endured massive human rights abuses under repression and in conflict. It works with victims, civil society groups, national and international organisations to ensure redress for victims and to help prevent atrocities from happening again.
Positions available
Internship opportunities are offered year-round and are designed to place students in a rich learning environment while providing practical experience working in the non-profit sector.
