The Fellow will gain hands-on experience on the application of international and regional human rights law in a multilateral human rights system, including advocacy on normative and policy advances for the protection of human rights defenders in Africa. The Fellow will also contribute to our work on capacity development and legislative protection of defenders at the national level.
